URL rewriting may be a solution for you:
At the end of httpd.conf add:
-----------------------------
</IfModule>
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/ApacheModuleRewrite.dll
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /myZone/slash?data=$1 [PT]
</IfModule>
What this does is rewrite urls so that your servlet gets invoked
with anything following the first slash in the URI.
I haven't tested this but it could get you going...
