"But must the HREF (and, correspondingly, the servlet mapping), always
start with the Web app name?"
No. You can specify a relative URL.
"If I wanted to make the HREF simply "Y", would the request make it to MyApp
at all?"
Yes. Just specify "Y" instead of "/MyApp/Y".
"If so, would the URL have been transformed into "/MyApp/Y" so that the servlet
mapping would do the right thing?"
yes. If you don't specify an absolute path, the context stays the same. Another
effect you may see is if you redirect a servlet's response to a relative path,
i.e. "A.jsp" instead of "/YourApp/A.jsp" the servlet will try to find
"/MyApp/A.jsp".
