Servlet mapping results in incorrect interpretation

["Zeltser, Mark" <Ma...@lehman.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to add extra servlet under struts framework. I have a link that
suppose to generate excel file. I added the following mapping to my web.xml:

  <!-- Excel Servlet Mapping -->
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>excelServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/ExcelServlet</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

After this addition, struts stopped working. After some investigation I
noticed that /contextRoot/logon.do is forwarded back to /contextRoot and not
handled by the servlet specified by '*.do' mapping. Everything works fine if
I don't specify this additional mapping.

What could be a problem?

I am running struts 1.0 under tomcat 3.2.1 with jdk1.3

Thanks.
