Yes ... it now conforms to the servlet specification. If you use extension
mapping, the extension has to appear in the last path element, with the side
effect that you cannot have extra path information after it. (Servlet Spec,
version 2.2, Section 10.1, third mapping type).
This topic is getting looked at for the next version of the spec, but in the mean
time Tomcat needs to play by the rules.
