But ... IIUC ... a listener started by  serve/servlet  will still 
dynamically load from <servlet-root>, <server-root>/htdocs/*, etc. if 
the request doesn't match a hard coded dispatch URL - the regex of the 
initial servlet or an entry in a dispatcher table.  At least that's the 
behavior I see with my own application: my initial servlet returns 404 
when called - the call to  serve/servlet  just sets up the environment 
and and all the "real" servlets are demand loaded from disk when first 
touched.

Are you advocating *static* linking and essentially just dispatching to 
internal functions by URL?  ISTM that that defeats the purpose.
