Reinhard answered the first part.
Next comes, while Felix is converting the samples to use servlet-services, that 
outside a request to
the DisplatcherServlet (outside a block context) there is no such information 
available to where a
block is mounted to.
I agree that such information need to be available.
After having a look into the DispatcherServlet I would propose to refactor the 
logic in the
createMountableServletsMap method into a Spring bean so that for example the 
cocoon-webapp can
access it and produce a listing page of all samples it has found in the 
work/blocks directory
with the correct links to them.

WDYT?
A Spring bean with directory info seem like a good idea. For increasing the usability I would suggest to implement a new source as well "servlets:" e.g. This source should be a listable source so that you can use it with e.g. the directory generator. The source would of course only be listable at the root level the listed sources would of course be ordinary servlet: sources.

So in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/trunk/core/cocoon-webapp/src/main/webapp/blocks/sitemap.xmap we could use:

<map:generate type="xpathtraversable" src="servlets:/">

instead of the current construction. I started to work on something like that half a year ago but never finished it.
