Jersey servlet mapping confusion

Question

Can somebody please explain in plain English how this works (or at least why my structure doesn't)? I want a function called ExportLicenseInfo in my Jersey servlet resource, which I have called ExportResource, to map to http://example.com/myApp/export/software_licenses.{year}-{month}.{format}, for example: http://example.com/myApp/export/software_licenses_2013-10.csv

Servlet config in web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>ExportServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>

    <init-param>
        <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
        <param-value>com.mycompany.app.ExportApplication</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

My servlet mapping in web.xml:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>ExportServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/export</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

My code with @Path annotations:

@Path("/export")
public class ExportResource {

    ...

    @GET
    @Produces({"text/csv", "application/json"})
    @Path("/software_licenses_{year: [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]}-{month: [0-1][0-9]}.{format}")
    public String ExportLicenseInfo( ... ) {
    ...
    }

When I try to access the resource, I get a 404. Jersey trace log:

Try mapping the jersey servlet like this:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ExportServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/export/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
