Servlet 2.3 PFD2, Section 3.1 (emphasis added by **):
A ServletContext is rooted at *a* known
path within the web server. For example,
a servlet context could be located at
http://www.mycorp.com/catalog. All requests
that begin with the /catalog request path,
known as the context path, are routed to
the web application associated with the
servlet context.

Of course, that begs the question of *why* you need this -- if everything
