In my work on the next version of Apache JServ, which will be 2.1-API
compliant, I've set things up so that extension mappings are local to a
servlet context, instead of global to the entire server. Among other things,
that means different people can use different JSP implementations (for
example), as long as they operate in different servlet contexts. I also have
the concept of the default servlet -- usually the file serving servlet -- but
again, local to the context.
To deal with your requirement, then, I would set up a servlet context that
mapped to "/foofolder", and defined the ".html" mapping only within that
context. The request for "/foofolder/bar.gif" would then get handled by the
default servlet, exactly as you described.
