The rules in the Servlet spec (section 11.1) state that prefix mapping take
precedence over extension mappings. This means that you have two choices:
1) <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>my</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
which calls "my" when no other pattern matches (including static content).
2) Include code in your servlet like:
if(request.getPathInfo().endsWith(".jsp")) {
RequestDispacher rd = application.getNamedDispatcher("jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);
return;
}
The second option isn't portable to other Servlet containers.
