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.mortbay.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.
