Note that if you allow the browser to refer to directories without the
trailing slash, you will break the handling of relative URLs on those
pages. When the user clicks on a link with a relative URL, the browser
has to convert that to an absolute URL. If the browser doesn't know
that the current page is a directory it will calculate the absolute
URL incorrectly.

I think you can customize it with URL Rewriting Filters.

Google URLRewriteFilter to find pre-built packages, or you can write your own.

There is no way to customize this behavior other than overriding the
default servlet with your own implementation.
