No. You need to either homegrow a simple Filter for this which transparently forwards the incoming requests based on their URI to the desired resources by RequestDispatcher#forward(), or to use a 3rd party one such as Tuckey's URL rewrite filter which is much similar to the well known Apache HTTPD's mod_rewrite.
