When the URL for the action is resolved, it wants to insert the prefix for you. It sounds like that for some reason, it did not see that the prefix was already there, and tried to insert it again.
The idea is that you should be able to change the prefix (or suffix) without touching the JSP's. So, it does not need to be expressed in the html:form tag. Some people use path="/something.do" but that's obsolete, and really should be deprectated. path="/something" should work regardless of what is used for the prefix or suffic. You "do" need to put the full URI in the ActionForward, since in that context it doesn't know whether you want to link to /this or /do/this Both of which are potentially valid. If you changed the suffix or prefix, you would also have to change them in the Struts config (but not in the JSPs).
