This looks like a job for apaches 'mod_rewrite'. I doubt that it is a
good idea to double this functionality. The purpose of an application
server is in my eyes the handling of requests. The mapping belongs to
the webserver.

You need to enable the "ExtraPathInfo" in Application.config, and then
you get at it through for example request().extraURLPath().
