As far as I know, servlets *must* be put in WEB-INF/classes in order to be
executed by the servlet engine. However, nothing is stopping you from
creating a nice alias for your servlet.
For instance, consider you have a servlet called Foo
(WEB-INF/classes/Foo.class).
You could then create an alias and give this servlet the name 'foo.html'
for example, so instead of having to type /servlet/Foo, you could type
just /foo.html.
This is done in the file WEB-INF/web.xml. For more information about this
file, please read Sun's specifikation.
