I have a number of servlets in the same web app so to make it work I have
restrict the filter mapping as follows.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/struts/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
The first one catches all requests with .action extensions which is what I
use.
The second one was suggested on this mailing list since there are resources
that struts UI controls can request.
