Chad, It seems you're missing a complete part of the Servlet spec, which is the notion of WebApp. It is the way to package an application and is the common and standard way of deploying an application. I would suggest you do some reading (just download the servlet spec for example or find a tutorial on javaworld) and then if you still have some additional questions, come back here, and we will answer then with pleasure.
