javasecurityservletsurl-pattern

web.xml exclusive url-pattern

I want to restrict access to the whole application <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> But not to some Servlets. They should be public.

Is there a way to do that easily (I imagine some exclusion or maybe overriding?) or do I have to arrange files in subfolders and allow access to one while restricting to the other?
