    HI saravana

    As per my knowledge webserver  dont have ability to identify whether its a static content request or dynamic content request. when ever its gets requests, it will forward the request to plugin

    Plugin will check in plugin-cfg.xml based on the uri available in uri-mapping. If its url is matched then it will route the application server based on the host and port.

    If the url is not available in the plugin-cfg.xml uri group plug-in will send back the request to webserver to check in its Document root for the request page if its find its send to response to the client or  it will send 404 error to the client.

    Someone correct me If I am wrong.
