Happy to avoid URI, but servletPAth + pathInfo is not strictly correct,
because it can also be do a different context path as a forward can cross
contexts. How about avoiding it all together:
If the asynchronous cycle was started with
ServletRequest.startAsync(ServletRequest,ServletResponse) then the dispatch
is to the resource that was the target of the last dispatch of type
REQUEST, ASYNC or FORWARD prior to the call of startAsync. Otherwise the
dispatch is to the resource that was the target of the last dispatch of
type REQUEST or ASYNC prior to the call to startAsync.
