Well, it's simple but not necessarily obvious ...
The servlet spec's definition of extension mapping is that it only looks for an
extension after the last slash. In effect, that means you cannot use path info
with extension mapped servlets. Alternatives:
* Use path-mapped servlets instead (maybe "/do/*").
* Pass the extra info as a query string rather than
as extra path info.
