Spring - how to exclude a particular URL from spring Controller?

Question

May be this question has an answer already.But that is an accepted answer.Because it works in web servers only.

My web.xml will be ,

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I want to exclude the hello.html from the spring controller.

Also that thing should be work on all servers like tomcat,Jboss,websphere etc..

Is it possible ?Hope I will get a good solution.

I am using a third party URL.And I don't want to intercept the url.For example only I used the hello.html. — Human Being, Dec 20 '13 at 15:25
so, you have annotations to map on the controller? or have configured in the xx-servlet.xml file? — Zeus, Dec 20 '13 at 15:26
If possible anyone can answer my previous question here.I didn't get a solution there. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20704086/spring-application-initialized-twice/20706340?noredirect=1#20706340 — Human Being, Dec 20 '13 at 15:31

How about just creating a new server-mapping point that points to the default servlet before the spring mapping?

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Default</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>hello.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Should work for tomcat but possibly it will work for other servers as well.

Doesn't this *include* `hello.html` instead of excluding it? To the person flagging this answer, please comment and possibly vote down, but don't just flag because you dislike the answer. – Maarten Bodewes Dec 21 '13 at 15:17
he wanted to exclude `hello.html` from spring controller. This is achieved by "including" it to default servlet that just handle it as plain resource... what's wrong with that approach? – sodik Dec 21 '13 at 21:26
OK, did not see that. Reformatted in answer. Removed downvote. – Maarten Bodewes Dec 22 '13 at 03:32
