With Tomcat, if you just drop a *.jsp file into webapps/ROOT and point your web browser to http://localhost:8080/foo.jsp, Tomcat automatically compiles the jsp file and does all the magic needed to run it and return the output.

With other web servers (like NetForge, for example) you can do the same thing with servlets--with NetForge, simply compile a *.class and drop it into servlet/ and if you point your browser to http://localhost:8080/Foo, it will run servlet/Foo.class.

Is there a way to do this with Tomcat without having to monkey around in XML files for every servlet class? i.e. some configuration option that will make every *.class file in a particular directory map to its class name?

Thanks (hope this makes sense),
