The real fix is to process web.xml and configure automatically all the (right) mappings. This is required by the servlet spec - /*/servlet/* is just hiding the problem for some cases. Right now autogeneration of mappings works with both 3.3 and 4.0, if something is missing or can be improved - I'm +1, if you want more automation or protocol-based config of mappings - +1 ( not easy, but can be done ). If you want to automatically read web.xml and extract mappings - that's fine too :-) Simplifying the config very important - and the AutoAlias is an excelent example. As I said, I am ok with enhancing AutoAlias to add automatically rules for /path/servlet/*, *.jsp, /path/WEB-INF/* and /path/META-INF/*. That would have almost the same effect as your proposal.
