SES url patterns cannot be defined in the servlet mappings

                 Key: JBWEB-135
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWEB-135
             Project: JBoss Web
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)

The majority of servlet containers let you define servlet-mappings that can
reproduce SES (search engine safe) URL's.

Example:

http://myhost.com/index.jsp/myvar/value
http://myhost.com/index.jsp/entry/hello--there

This gives you the ability to create pretty ses url's without the need of an
external rewrite tool like mod_rewrite or an ses valve.

However, as I am aware of, only Tomcat does not allow these type of servlet
mappings.

<servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>*.jsp/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The <url-pattern>*.jsp/*</url-pattern> is the one that chokes!! It cannot be
defined and used.

This to me is a bug as all servlet containers support this type of
url-patterns.
