Tomcat adds this mapping in its web.xml which your app inherits. It is
probably a matter of a collision of servlet mappings and the .jsp
servlet
mapping is winning out.

Are you sure you didn't have the original URL like the following?....
<a href="/shyam/catalog.jsp">blah</a>
If you did, then you basically hardcoded the URL to point to the root of
the server rather than picking up the context via a relative URL. Or,
another case might be if you used a relative URL ( "shyam/catalog.jsp"
),
but you called this URL from somewhere other than the root of your
context. Either case would have given you a 404 error. Specifically
prepending the context path to the beginning of your URL is the smartest
thing to do since you never have to worry about either of the above
mentioned cases. You always point to the right place no matter what.
