Leo,
this is a problem with the jacc spec, which uses ':' within UrlPatternSpec to define the start of a list of qualifying patterns. The qualifying patterns define exceptions to the list of patterns which are matched by the first pattern. I am not sure how to resolve this in the jacc spec, but I will work on that, (since ":" is permitted in path-segments).
if it is possible for you to avoid the use of : in your path segments, that would be the
surest way for you to avoid this problem. Another way forward would be for you to eused escaped encoding (%hex hex ) for all instances of ":" occurring withing your path-segments, and within your security constraints in web.xml.
