Here are the exact rules from the spec:
SRV.11.2 Specification of Mappings
In theWeb 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.
� A string containing only the �/� character indicates the "default" servlet of
the 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... no.
