The 3 servlet engines I have used (jrun, websphere, and jserv) all allow you to
change the word 'servlet' to something else. Heh, I feel sorry for anyone trying
to hack into a site and cannot figure out that a simple word substation has been
done.
If you are running apache, you might want to take a look at the URL rewriting
rules.
With this, you can map "http://www.mysite.com" to
"http://www.mysite.com/servlet".
I think that this will give you the security you are looking for.
I've never tried it before, though. Just something that I would try...
Good Luck!
