This servlet will run Groovy scripts as Groovlets. Groovlets are scripts
with these objects implicit in their scope:
request - the HttpServletRequest
response - the HttpServletResponse
application - the ServletContext associated with the servlet
session - the HttpSession associated with the HttpServletRequest
out - the PrintWriter associated with the ServletRequest
Your script sources can be placed either in your web application's normal
web root (allows for subdirectories) or in /WEB-INF/groovy/* (also allows
subdirectories).
To make your web application more groovy, you must add the GroovyServlet
to your application's web.xml configuration using any mapping you like, so
long as it follows the pattern *.* (more on this below). Here is the
web.xml entry:

The URL pattern does not require the "*.groovy" mapping. You can, for example, make it more Struts-like but groovy by making your mapping "*.gdo".
