Mapping for a normal servlet? Mandatory in struts?

[Timothy Sam]

Is it mandatory that I place another servlet mapping in web.xml if I wanted to make a Servlet(a normal servlet) that doesn't extend Struts Action class? Or does the mapping

<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

does it all?

If you want to run another servlet in your Struts application, you will have to provide another entry for both the servlet and it's path in your web.xml file. The path for your other servlet is going to have to be something other than *.do.
