I don't know, it seems that it could not be possible.

Make your Servlets using packages, compile everything from the directory
one degree above in the tree (the directory that your subdirectory is
connect).
Use web.xml in your context (under WEB-INF) and put:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>somethingthatusespackage</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>nameOfPackage.SomeThingThatUsesPackage</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>somethingthatusespackage</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/somethingthatusespackage</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
That is it, whem your start Tomcat and Netscape and put
"http://127.0.0.1:8080/yourcontext/somethingthatusespackage" your servlet
that would be in
"/opt/tomcat/webapps/yourcontext/WEB-INF/classes/nameOfPackage/SomeThingThatUsesPackage.class"
will be loaded.
