The default dispatcher chain puts the filesystem server directly after the servlet handler and then the "file not found" handler is after that. If you ever want to have a dispatcher skip to the next one, you can call (next-dispatcher), even if you've done work like creating a file. Alternatively, you could explicitly call the file server by embedding it into your servlet, but I don't recommend that.
