Remapping Guice Servlet plugin modules with a uri-prefix

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For example, if you install a third party ServletModule that maps servlets to a 
URI that you already 
use, Guice Servlet should allow you to remap the third party module wholesale 
under a path-prefix:

install("/rpc/", new RpcModule());

Now, any servlet mappings in RpcModule are remapped with a path-prefix "/rpc/".

This is a fairly complex feature as it requires a good deal of thinking about 
regex mappings, path-
info rewriting and so forth. I don't think it will make it to 2.0.

Wouldn't this feature be easy if you use Warp Servlet within Warp Servlet. Like,
registering multiple dispatchers:
- GuiceFilter (/)
  - MyServlet1 (/1)
  - MyServlet2 (/2)
  - GuiceFilter (/rpc)
    - MyRpcServlet1 (/rpc/1)
    - MyRpcServlet2 (/rpc/2)

Then those remapped servlet now have a different root, that's all. They don't 
need to
care. Does that make sense?

Yea this was my preliminary design. However, the implications are rather 
drastic--what happens when a servlet 
queries it's context path? Do we show the reduced path?

Do we also scope filters like this (makes sense to disambiguate servlets, but 
filters do not have a collision 
problem)? 

We need to gather more input around use cases. Perhaps I will start a thread on 
this.

Perhaps Greg Kick's new servlets SPI will address this...
