According to 12.2 of the Servlet 3.0 specification (not likely to have
changed since prior versions)

In the Web application deployment descriptor, the following syntax is used
to define
mappings:

   - A string beginning with a ‘/’ character and ending with a ‘/*’ suffix
   is used for path mapping.
   - A string beginning with a ‘*.’ prefix is used as an extension mapping.
   - The empty string ("") is a special URL pattern that exactly maps to
   the application's context root, i.e., requests of the form
http://host:port/<context-root>/.
   In this case the path info is ’/’ and the servlet path and context path
   is empty string (““).
   - A string containing only the ’/’ character indicates the "default"
   servlet of that application. In this case the servlet path is the request
   URI minus the context path and the path info is null.
   - All other strings are used for exact matches only.

So a * path and a path without a slash are likely only JBoss AS friendly.
