I'm not sure you interpreted me correctly.
My rule is:
if the path contains a dot:
if the path has a slash after the dot
it's a directory path
else
it's a file path
Under my rule:
/file..html/extra/path/info
should be matched by a servlet bound to one of the following
directory paths:
/file.html
/file.html/extra
/file.html/extra/path
/file.html/extra/path/info
but never get matched by a servlet mapped to the extension .html
I think this is correct, after all when are you going to get extra
path info after a file name?
