It is easy to do in the Jigsaw framework, but I don't know how to do that 
with servlets.
The way to do this in Jigsaw is to overload the "lookup" method of a 
resource or a frame.

If your .flow are linked to existing files, the ServletMapperFrame on top 
of a FileResource is the way to go (much like jsp, it delegates everything 
to a servlet with the path of the .jsp given to the servlet, see [1])
It might work without any physical file on the disk if you replace the 
FileResource by a FramedResource which is only virtual.
