Hello Mark,

is far as i understood the config-files, you can attach properties
to servlets by referring to the full name of its class, including
the whole package-path, or by referring to its alias. 

I would suggest to try to assign the following values:
masterpackage.subpackage.myservlet.database.name=MyDataBase

if your servlet reside inside the package masterpackage.subpackage.

of course don't forget to restart the werbserver to force it to
reload the jserv.properties file.

hth,
Thomas
