The problem with servlet mappings is that they only map to a servlet.
They don't allow you to nullify a mapping for a subgrouping.
Thus if I want to map /myalias/ to a servlet MyServlet but I don't want
to include jsp files, there is no way to nullify the alias for that
filetype. That is what I need to do.
The only workaround that I can think of is making an alias for each
filetype:
/myalias/*.html
/myalias/*.htm
etc.
But it would be far more elegant to be able to nullify an alias and map
/myalias/ to MyServlet and
/myalias/*.jsp
