-------------------------------------

Algorithm snippet of doGet method of CatalogUrlServlet.java where modification is done.

Current algorithm:
    ...
    ...
Check: Is last path element starts with 'p_'
Yes?-
    set ProductId after removing prepended 'p_'
    So, that it will be directed to Product Detail page.
No?-
    Check: Do we have any product with productId = pathElement
    yes?- set productId.  So, that it will be redirected to Product detail page.
    ...
    ...
 
So, if we have a categoryId same as productId then it don't check for category it first sets productId.


Algorithm used to fix the issue:

As per Scott's first solution:

...
...
Check: Is last path element starts with 'p_' ?
Yes?-
    set ProductId after removing prepended 'p_'
    So, that it will be directed to Product Detail page.
No?-
    Check: Do we have any category with categoryId = pathElement
    yes?- set categoryId.  So, that it will be redirected to Category detail page. Product List will be shown on Category detail page.
