I don't think so. It just expose the servlet instance itself such
that  ServletConfig etc.  could be obtained . This  I think is  needed
when  using a jsp taglib in freemarker

You're correct ... a servlet mapping is not required, if all you are after
is the "load on startup" behavior of the container calling init() at startup
time, but you do not want this servlet to process any requests.  With the
current generation servlet APIs, you'd more likely do this sort of thing in
a ServletContextListener, but I imagine this design predates that.
