public class PathMap
extends HashMap
implements Externalizable

URI path map to Object. This mapping implements the path specification recommended in the 2.2 Servlet API. Path specifications can be of the following forms:

 /foo/bar           - an exact path specification.
 /foo/*             - a prefix path specification (must end '/*').
 *.ext              - a suffix path specification.
 /                  - the default path specification.       
 

Matching is performed in the following order

Exact match. Longest prefix match. Longest suffix match. default. Multiple path specifications can be mapped by providing a list of specifications. The list is separated by the characters specified in the "org.openqa.jetty.http.PathMap.separators" System property, which defaults to :

Note that this is a very different mapping to that provided by PathMap in Jetty2.

This class is not synchronized for get's. If concurrent modifications are possible then it should be synchronized at a higher level.
