-=== Using an MvcRequestMatcher
+=== Matching by Servlet Path
 
 Generally speaking, you can use `requestMatchers(String)` as demonstrated above.
 
-However, if you map Spring MVC to a different servlet path, then you need to account for that in your security configuration.
+However, if you have authorization rules from multiple servlets, you need to specify those:
-
-For example, if Spring MVC is mapped to `/spring-mvc` instead of `/` (the default), then you may have an endpoint like `/spring-mvc/my/controller` that you want to authorize.
-
-You need to use `MvcRequestMatcher` to split the servlet path and the controller path in your configuration like so:

-This need can arise in at least two different ways:
+This is because Spring Security requires all URIs to be absolute (minus the context path).
 
-* If you use the `spring.mvc.servlet.path` Boot property to change the default path (`/`) to something else
+[TIP]
-* If you register more than one Spring MVC `DispatcherServlet` (thus requiring that one of them not be the default path)
+=====
