If you have only a small number of static file types, then you could also
do:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- repeat as necessary -->
Another trick is to include in your servlet something like:
ServletContext cntx = getServletContext();
URL resource = cntx.getResource(request.getPathInfo());
if(resource != null) { // physical file exists
RequestDispatcher rd = cntx.getNamedDispatcher("default");
rd.forward(request, response);
return;
}
