I'm currently using a simple Dispatcher subclass that supports this by 
allowing you to specify mappings using a regex, e.g. you can match 
/app/users/* to the edit command by calling 
addCommandMatch(".*/app/users/.+", "edit"). Note that I don't use the .m 
extension for commands and have my servlet container setup to support this 
and I am also using REST [1] as the basis for my current project, so the 
dispatcher also adds the Http method to the name of the command i.e. doing 
an HTTP GET on /invoices/invoice01234 after an 
addCommandMatch(".*/invoice.+", "invoice") will return a command name of 
GetInvoice and similarly an HTTP DELETE will result in a command of 
DeleteInvoice, etc..

I'd be happy to let you have a copy of it (and its unit test) if you'd 
like, just drop me a line.
