Servlet mappings

A servlet mapping is a correspondence between a client request and a servlet.

Web containers use URL paths to map client requests to servlets, and follow the URL path-mapping rules as specified in the Java Servlet specification. The container uses the URI from the request, minus the context path, as the path to map to a servlet. The container chooses the longest matching available context path from the list of Web applications that it hosts.
