The code to append a trailing / before it does anything else (assuming
it's a directory) is already present in the default servlet--my patch
forwards after this happens. Maybe I should have included more context
within the patch to make this clearer--sorry, I can see why this would
be so controversial without that key point. Otherwise it would
definitely break. The patch occurs after the line:

if (resourceInfo.collection) {
...
}

which means that it has already ruled that the request is a directory.

Verified the following:

http://foo/bar#anchor
http://foo/bar/#anchor

with a welcome-file of:
test/test.jsp

and was correctly forwarded to:

http://foo/bar/test/test.jsp#anchor
