Calling a servlet

Question

Hello everyone,
I have a problem when calling a servlet.
I have a context called project and a the following login servlet
<servlet>
<servlet-name>login</servlet-name> <servlet-class>assessment.servlet.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>The login servlet prints itself in the get method and has to call it's post method in the same servlet.
What should I write in the form action = ??? WITHOUT though referencing the context name???
Writing action="/login" or "../login" doesn't work.
Ignoring the action makes some jumps to previous servlets
Thank you

I'm fairly sure you have to reference the context because without it /login equates to the directory login in the root of your web site.
