You can try having a single servlet that has 'handlers' for it and so all requests go through it first and it dipatches them further to handlers. I have this setup and map the servlet to something like /handler and then for an action such as handler/AuthenticationHandler the request goes to 'handler' servlet and it figures out what AuthenticationHandler is and if it exists it forwards the request to it.
It works very nice. d.
