You need to prepend the servlet context path to the form action url.

In html, when you specify a relative url that starts with a / it is
interpered as being relative to the server root. So /foo is interpreted
as http://example.com/foo. The servlet mapping in web.xml does normally
not start from the server root, but from the servlet context path.
