I'm not sure why this is a "problem", you wrote in your dispatch an "else" clause that says "All other URLs get passed to list-posts". Why would you expect anything differently? If you remove this 'else' clause, then it will do what you expect, because serve/servlet puts a file server after the servlet server in the dispatch chain. Is there a reason you can't or don't want to do that?
