The servlet you write is code that you want to be executed. The servlet runner
(through the Java Virtual Machine) can only execute class files. Copy the class
files.

If you are using JBuilder, you should know that when you compile a .java source
file, the output is a .class file.

The servlet runner is a server. You don't need to tell it about the Browser
ahead of time. When you type in the URL into the browser, the browser knows to
how to make a network connection to local host on port <Port>. The servlet
runner gets the information from the browser over this network connection from
the browser.
You do need to tell servlet runner where to get the class files it needs. It
looks for java classes on the classpath you have defined. If you are actually
using servletrunner, you tell it in the command line where the servlets are
located.
