Servlet invocation

           Summary: Servlet invocation
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Beta 1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gilles.philippart@ota.fr.socgen.com


The following configuration (located in the default web.xml file) seems to 
override context definitions :

<!-- The mapping for the invoker servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

for example i would like to define 2 context mapping the same webapp for 
compatibility reasons : 

<Host name="dpeapc8" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
        <Alias>dpeapc8.ota.marc.societe-generale.fr</Alias>
        <Context path="/myfavoriteapp" docBase="web-averagefee" debug="0" 
reloadable="true"/>
        <Context path="/servlet/myfavoriteapp" docBase="web-averagefee" 
debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
    </Host>

the problem is that the Invoker is called and tries to find the 'myfavoriteapp' 
servlet instead of calling the web-averagefee webapp.

In tomcat 3.2.1 it worked ok : the webapp was effectively called and the 
invoker did not override the context definition
