Hi :-) I just add a note: with jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b1/2/3(standalone, J2SE1.3,
winnt40):
- if we don't define any servlet-defination in WEB-INF/web.xml, now there will be
only-one instance of MyServlet, and, normally(please see reference email), I can
invoke it by the following:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mywebapp/servlet/MyServlet
- if we define m servlet-definations in WEB-INF/web.xml, now after these m
servlet-definations have all been invoked by
"<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> or invoking-by-client or ..." , there
will be m+1 instances of MyServlet(m new, 1 old), the m new instances of
MyServlet can have different init parameters which can be read with
this.getInitParameter(...).

The Servlet Spec doesn't require a /servlet/ mapping, but that's what
everyone is used to, so I think the Tomcat developers put it in as a
default. In the server.xml file there is a RequestInterceptor that handles
requests to /servlet/:
(server.xml)
<!-- Non-standard invoker, for backward compat. ( /servlet/* )
You can modify the prefix that is matched by adjusting the
"prefix" parameter below. Be sure your modified pattern
starts and ends with a slash.
NOTE: This prefix applies to *all* web applications that
are running in this instance of Tomcat.
-->
<RequestInterceptor
className="org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor"
debug="0" prefix="/servlet/" />
I believe this is how requests to /examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample are
getting mapped to /WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldExample.class. For a deeper
explanation, you need to look at the code in
org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor.
