The Tomcat FAQ has only one answer to your question about the servlets as start pages:
Can a servlet take the place of an index page? In other words, can
http:/myserver.mydomain.com/ execute a servlet rather than serve an index page? mhempel

Of course it can. There are two ways to do this. Make the index page of the site
simply redirect to your Servlet or you can use mod_rewrite within Apache.
web.xml
I dont think that you have to register your servlets there. I havn't changed this file
and
my servlets work fine.
