How are Servlet url mappings in web.xml used?

Question

I have a web.xml file with content:

    servlet1
    

        

Answer 1

Your paths conflict.

Both of your paths mean the same, the '/*' doesn't make any difference. Apparently then when you try your path, the last match (servlet2) is executed.

You usually put in a path with the Servlet name, like for example:

/path/test/servlet1
/path/test/servlet2
