Actually that FAQ entry results in the entire URL namespace being mapped
to the servlet.  That isn't what I think the original requestor wanted
(at least it isn't what I want).  I want just the top level (i.e.
http://host) initial page mapped to a servlet, but not the entire
namespace.  So that http://host calls my servlet, but http://host/xxx
gets the file xxx.

The FAQ entry you mention has the following suggestion for the
httpd.conf:
       LoadModule rewrite_module modules/ApacheModuleRewrite.dll
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
               RewriteEngine on
               RewriteRule ^/(.*)  /myZone/slash?data=$1 [PT]
       </IfModule>

This RewriteRule maps the entire namespace to the servlet
/myZone/slash.  I have played around with various RewriteRules and can't
find a way to avoid mapping the entire namespace.  So I have ended up
using a redirect (which isn't a very performant solution).
