RESEND (ignore prev): problem w/ multiple servlet mappings in web.xml

[Feisal Jaffer <fe...@shazamteam.com>]

All:

I am sure this is a simple issue but I am having problems if I specify
multiple servlet mappings in my web.xml. I was working on an application
that did not have struts and have added struts for a part of the
application. I would like only certain mappings to be handled by the Struts
action servlet and the rest of the system to remain as is for now...

My web.xml file is attached to this msg. As far as I can see it, the
mappings should not conflict, but they do...If I comment out all the other
servlet mappings, then everything is cool with the struts part of the
application. Otherwise my urls get rewritten w/ the name of the parent
directory only.

Now that I have tracked the problem down, I know I can package these two
parts of the system (one with struts and one without) as 2 separate web
apps. But is there a way to specify multiple servlet mappings without a
conflict arising? I am not at all attached to the urls and would have no
problem changing them in the JSP files.

thanks in advance...

The path mappings take precedence over the extension mappings (incidentally
I think the mapping to the Struts servlet needs to be just "*.do"). So I
think that if none of the other servlets map to a prefix that is used by any
of your Struts actions you'll be OK... for example you can't map a Struts
servlet to "/buymusic/action.do" since the other servlet's mapping will pick
that up first.
