Ich habe eine web.xml-Datei mit folgendem Inhalt:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>servlet1</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.mycompany.test1</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>servlet2</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.mycompany.test2</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>servlet1</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/path/test</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>servlet2</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/path/test/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Ich habe es mit Anfragen versucht

.../path/test/abc 
.../path/test

Beide Anfragen werden von Servlet2 bearbeitet. Warum?

Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe. Ich erkannte, dass das Verhalten von der Reihenfolge der Servlet-Mapping-Deklaration abhängt. Ich habe diese web.xml ausprobiert

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>servlet1</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.mycompany.test1</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>servlet2</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.mycompany.test2</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>servlet3</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.mycompany.test3</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>servlet4</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.mycompany.test4</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>servlet1</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/path/test</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>servlet2</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/path/test/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>servlet3</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/path/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>servlet4</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/path</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Ergebnisse:

.../path/test/abc - servlet2
.../path/test/ - servlet2
.../path/test - servlet2

.../path/abc - servlet3
.../path/ - servlet4
.../path - servlet4
