Looks like an incorrect interpretation to me. In Section 4.4 there are
descriptions of what the path elements are supposed to be, and in
particular an example where the context path is "/catalog" and there is a
"*.jsp" mapping:
Request URI: /catalog/help/feedback.jsp
Context Path: /catalog
Servlet Path: /help/feedback.jsp
Path Info: (null)
As you can see, this is exactly analogous to the case you describe.
Just out of curiousity, does it still fail if you change your module path
("/training.org") to something that does not include a period in it? The
WebLogic servlet container might be getting confused by what looks like an
extension there.
