Experimenting on the extreme side of things: when trying to use

It works, once I use aliases="/myapp=/some/path" and
servletContext().getResourceAsStream("/myapp/test.properties").
Is that expected?
Nope. Thats broken.
I see, it was because you need to remove the trailing slash and for "/"
the trailing slash is the leading one too.
Now using an alias with "/" naively seems to make not much sense (the
webapps will break unless you move everything there). I thought about
using slash in order to overwrite stuff. So the expected behaviour for
an alias using "/" would be to only use the alias results, if something
was actually found under the alias.
I prepared a patch for that:

What do you think?
