Servlet getRequestDispatcher.forward() work's unclear

I have 2 servlets, there they mapping inside web.xml: 

    <url-pattern>/archiving/archive</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/archiving/reportgenerator</url-pattern>

From servlet archive I call second servlet: 

request.getRequestDispatcher("/reportgenerator").forward(request, response);

But there error: 

NOT_FOUND
RequestURI=/reportgenerator

It seems like in URL we lost "/archiving" before "/reportgenerator".

But if I add "/archiving" in reaquestDispatcher: 

request.getRequestDispatcher("/archiving/reportgenerator").forward(request, response);

Then I get this error: 

NOT_FOUND
RequestURI=/archiving/archiving/reportgenerator

Why servlet duplicate "/archiving" path in 2nd case, but don't paste it in first?

change this line 

request.getRequestDispatcher("/archiving/reportgenerator").forward(request, response);

to 

request.getRequestDispatcher("../archiving/reportgenerator").forward(request, response);

and see if this helps.
