Deploying servlet without an application

[Mandar Joshi]

I want to make a simple applet run on tomcat.
I don't want to put that in an enterprise application just want to have it
in the classpath and make an entry in the web.xml like this

    <servlet>
            <servlet-name>
                ServRequests
            </servlet-name>
            <servlet-class>
                com.mandar.servlet.RequestsServlet
            </servlet-class>
            <context-param>
            <init-param>
             <param-name>
              acceptrequests
             </param-name>
             <param-value>
              quoteRequests
             </param-value>
            </init-param>
            </context-param>
    </servlet>

secondly can I pass in the init param as shown above ?

Thanks in advance
