The <servlet-name>tag doesn't define what URL causes the servlet to
be run;
that is the purpose of the <servlet-mapping> tag - which you haven't
created.
Add something like this to your web.xml file:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
MyStart
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/UrlForMyStart
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
You should then be able to access
http://lmyhost:myport/examples/myExample/UrlForMyStart
>
Of course, if you defined the url-pattern as /MyStart, then the
original url you wanted would work; I'm just demonstrating above
that the url doesn't have to be the same as the servlet-name. In
fact, if you want to, you can define multiple URLs that map to
the same servlet.
Everything else you're doing looks ok to me.
