I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere, but it would be a nice trick.
Start by looking at the standard web.xml that comes with Tomcat. Here's
the mapping for the JSP servlet (this is from TC 5.5.20's web.xml)
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
(Not sure why this mapping is in there twice, but whatever...)
And here is what is declared for the default servlet:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I would imagine that the "default" servlet is available for mapping from
within your webapp's web.xml file. So, try something like this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/treat-as-static/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
You'll definitely want to test this to make sure that nothing slips
through the cracks, but it might put you on the right track.
