title: How to exclude particular action name (servlets) from Spring MVC Request mapping so that it looks for that action into web.xml
body: <p>In Struts I have used</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;constant name=&quot;struts.action.excludePattern&quot; value=&quot;/servlet-action&quot;/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Doing above, Struts avoids looking for <code>/servlet-action</code> into <code>struts.xml</code> and goes to <code>web.xml</code>.</p>
  <p>How to achieve this in Spring MVC?</p>
  <p>Or can <code>@RequestMapping</code> be done for servlets?</p>
