This doesn't do what you want. It is an exact-match pattern for a URL that
is litterally '/servlets/com.domain.servlets.*'. And, even if it did work,
Invoker would choke on the result.

Probably easiest is modifying the catchAll servlet to do something like (but
I haven't tried it myself):
  String pathInfo = request.getPathInfo();
  if(pathInfo != null && pathInfo.startsWith("/com.domain.servlets.")) {
     RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getNamedDispatcher("invoker");
     rd.forward(request, response);
     return;
  }

I can't see how you could accomplish what you want otherwise, without
changing your URL-space layout (since Invoker only works if it is
prefix-mapped).
