I went back and looked at your previous post. Are you saying you want
to be able to specify the URL without the context name? That is,
normally you use URLs of the form:
http:<servername>/<contextname>/servlets/<servletclass>
but you want to use:
http:<servername>/servlets/<servletclass>
Is that correct?
Can't you do this by putting the servlets in the root context?
