How should the path mapping rules be interpreted?

If I implement the path mapping rules fully  (see note below) should
a directory mapping for root receive all requests for files?

For example:

- map a servlet X to "/"
- map a servlet Y to ".html"
- request a file "/file.html"

Should X receive the request for /file.html?



Servlet mapping rules - my understanding
1. Servlets can be mapped to either directories or file extensions or
just live in the /servlet directory.
2. If an engine implements servlet mapping to file extensions the
directories list should be searched first.


If anyone can help it would be great.
