This has been a great and informative thread... I'm wondering now, how to accomplish what I want to do in Tomcat alone, rather than looking for a Tomcat+Apache solution (sounds simpler).
The issue is that I want ALL directory-like urls resolved by a particular servlet (which is a Spring dispatcher servlet, but never mind that), but I would like very few kinds of static files (which I could name explictly *.gif, *.png, *.css or put under a static place) served statically (ie by the "default" servlet.
The problem is that the url-pattern for a directory-like urls covers all urls.
Is there a way to do the reverse of normal, state that you want a particular url-pattern (e.g. "/static/*") to go to the "default servlet" , and everything else (e.g. "/*") to go to a particular servlet. If so, how do I indicate the "default servlet" in my web.xml?
(And I've already had recommendations from people to change the URLs for the dynamic stuff to something else, but that's not what the client/customer/user/design wants -- the url is very much part of the user interface in this application).
thanks
