Bill,
I'm not sure what you're referring to as routing in this case. Are you talking about "matching" a URL with a Java resource method? I'm also a bit confused about the "web server" part.
In any case, there's an algorithm in the spec that describes the matching process, but each implementation has a different implementation of it.
