Okay, you've stumped me, dude. I can't seem to replicate this. Is the
root of your web-app context http://localhost:8080/main/ ?

First it tries to find an exact match. (e.g. something that doesnt
contain wildcard chars).

If that fails, it then looks for all patterns that match that contain
wildcards (* or ?). Out of all these matches, the longest one wins (as
this is the most explicit). So /a/b/* beats /a/*.

Finally, it falls back to the /* pattern.
