Description

There is a <url-pattern>*</url-pattern> in:

• https://github.com/apache/openwebbeans/blob/master/webbeans-tomcat7/src/main/resources/META-INF/web-fragment.xml#L33
• https://github.com/apache/openwebbeans/blob/master/webbeans-jetty9/src/main/resources/META-INF/web-fragment.xml#L33

The pattern '*' is not a legal url-pattern by https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/5.0/jakarta-servlet-spec-5.0.html#specification-of-mappings

Current jetty releases incorrectly accept '*' as a mapping, treating it like a suffix mapping with an empty suffix.   I assume that tomcat must also accept it.

Future versions of jetty will not accept it and the next version of jetty will accept it only with a warning.

It should be "/*"
