When I tried that approach (adding "/*" to the mapping), my servlet
received the requests to those url's with additional path, and was able
to extract the patch info using HttpServeltRequest.getPathInfo.  But it
was no longer able to find other content such as static html files and
image files that were bundled into my servlet. How do I receive
requests to urls that have additional path, but not cut off access to my
own internal content?
