TIA, Since you are specifiying /servlet in your path, you are able to still access the servlet. That will work for any servlets that don't have entries in the web.xml file. As for your other point, JSP's are a better way to output the html. They get compiled into servlets automatically by the container when accessed the first time. The restriction with them is that they cannot be used to render binary output. In order to do that, you will need a servlet. An example of this is a servlet that outputs an image or PDF file rather than HTML.
