+ * PathMatcher implementation for Ant-style path patterns. Examples are 
provided below.
+ *
+ * <p>Part of this mapping code has been kindly borrowed from <a 
href="http://ant.apache.org";>Apache Ant</a>.
+ *
+ * <p>The mapping matches URLs using the following rules:<br> <ul> <li>? 
matches one character</li> <li>* matches zero
+ * or more characters</li> <li>** matches zero or more 'directories' in a 
path</li> </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Some examples:<br> <ul> <li>{@code com/t?st.jsp} - matches {@code 
com/test.jsp} but also
+ * {@code com/tast.jsp} or {@code com/txst.jsp}</li> <li>{@code com/*.jsp} - 
matches all
+ * {@code .jsp} files in the {@code com} directory</li> <li>{@code 
com/&#42;&#42;/test.jsp} - matches all
+ * {@code test.jsp} files underneath the {@code com} path</li> <li>{@code 
org/springframework/&#42;&#42;/*.jsp}
+ * - matches all {@code .jsp} files underneath the {@code org/springframework} 
path</li>
+ * <li>{@code org/&#42;&#42;/servlet/bla.jsp} - matches {@code 
org/springframework/servlet/bla.jsp} but also
+ * {@code org/springframework/testing/servlet/bla.jsp} and {@code 
org/servlet/bla.jsp}</li> </ul>
