The fact that your webapp has been designated as the virtual server's
default-web-module
will not interfere in any way with the requests sent to it.
Assume your FORM's action looks like this:
<FORM ACTION="MyServlet" METHOD=POST>
If you access the FORM like this:
http://<server>:<port>/actionplans/form.jsp
the FORM's input will be submitted to
http://<server>:<port>/actionplans/MyServlet
and if "actionplans" has been designated as the default-web-module of
<server>, and you access the FORM like this:
http://<server>:<port>/form.jsp
its input will be submitted to
http://<server>:<port>/MyServlet
which is mapped (internally by the container) to
http://<server>:<port>/actionplans/MyServlet
From an earlier email, it seems you are trying to access the FORM
params via the request's
query string. This will work only if your FORM is submitted with
METHOD=GET, but not
with METHOD=POST. In the latter case, the FORM params will be sent in
the request
body, instead of being appended as a query string to the request URL.
