Servlet and filter mappings in web.xml are converted to handlers as they are represented in app.yaml by other runtimes. Static includes/excludes in appengine-web.xml are also converted to handlers of a similar format. The source code showing how these are processed can by found in *<gcloud-sdk-dir>/platform/google_appengine/google/appengine/tools/handler.py* .
- Line 181 defines *OverlappedHandler* which shows how some of the paths found in both xml files can be combined into a single handler. - Line 245 defines *GetOrderedIntersection* which explains how mappings in web.xml are converted into an ordered list of handler objects. Depending on what includes and mappings exist in your configuration xml files, the conversion into app.yaml-like handlers may not be a 1:1 ratio. I'd recommend reading through that source if the details of how paths are combined is the information you seek. Nevertheless, given the config files you've provided, my standing recommendation remains to break down your service into small "microservices" to have more URLMap "breathing room" and to take advantage of independent scaling/load balancing.
