Re: Servlet invoking

I think you can do that with a specific indexer [1] and the RedirecterFrame [2].
Configure your new indexer to create FileResource[3] associated to a
RedirecterFrame for html files (or gif, jpg, txt ...). In Redirecter frame set the
target field to the internal StatusServlet URL. Then each request on files under
the DirectoryResource[4] associated with your new indexer will be redirected on
your servlet (The Header Referer will contains the original resource URL).

[3] org.w3c.tools.resources.FileResource

[4] org.w3c.jigsaw.resources.DirectoryResource
       http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/Doc/Reference/org.w3c.jigsaw.resources.DirectoryResource.html
