Why is web.xml not prior to annotation in conflict?

[Leon Omk]

@WebServlet("/ServletOne")  
public class ServletOne extends HttpServlet {  

    <servlet>  
        <servlet-name>Servlet2</servlet-name>  
        <servlet-class>ServletTwo</servlet-class>  
    </servlet>  
      
    <servlet-mapping>  
        <servlet-name>Servlet2</servlet-name>  
        <url-pattern>/ServletOne</url-pattern>  
    </servlet-mapping>  

Running in Tomcat 7.x, I type http://localhost/MyApp/ServletOne, then ServletOne is invoked. Why not ServletTwo?

i. Configuration specified in the main web.xml or a web fragment takes
precedence over the configuration specified via annotations.

In the servlet3.0 spec page 103, doesn't it mean web.xml is prior to annotation when there is conflict? Is it a bug for Tomcat?

Hi,
I do not have much idea still I think the ServletTwo url pattern is overriding the pattern so it is being called.

[Leon Omk]

@WebServlet("/ServletTwo")
public class ServletTwo extends HttpServlet {

This is the annotation for servletTwo.

Hi,
Can you please provide your full view of web.xml file? Since no url-pattern is defined for ServletTwo, web container can't initiate/process this. Also you can provide us the log file to proceed further.

Is your class in the default package?
<servlet> <servlet-name>Servlet2</servlet-name> <servlet-class>ServletTwo</servlet-class> </servlet>

Yes, all servlets are in default package.

Yes, all servlets are in default package.

don't do that, you'll run in to trouble if you do so. Use packages and see still the issue exists...
