It was a change to fix an issue important for security. See https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50026 If you just need to forward to the servlet, do you need to map it to different path? It is possible to select the servlet by its name, ServletContext.getNamedDispatcher("default").forward(..)
