Our legacy MVC uses servlet mapping by path "/legacy/*" and Struts is mapped by extension "*.do".
The legacy servlet initializes user information and adds it to the request object. It then prepends the request.getRequestURI() with "/root" and uses the RequestDispatcher to dispatch the request to Struts. We prepend the request URI with "/root" so the legacy servlet doesn't dispatch to itself. We also do this because we wrote our own templating system similar to SiteMesh without servlet filters... but that's another story. Struts is doing exactly what it should be doing in a "normal" application. In my case, I just need to modify that behavior so I can get it to work in my environment. -----Original Message----- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 2003-03-28 at 13:43, Kuntz, Tim wrote: > Sorry, "the framework" refers to my legacy MVC framework and we use a > sub-directory named "/root" to store the views (jsps).

What is your legacy servlet doing to the request?
