While what you propose might be quite nice, Tomcat needs to conform to the
servlet spec's rules for what a legal <url-pattern> can contain -- it's
the same for both filter mappings and servlet mappings -- and this pattern
is not legal.
One strategy would be to match for "/Controller/*" and let the filter look
at the query parameters to decide whether or not to do anything
special. Otherwise, it can just pass the request on unmolested.
