In this case "servlets" is a seperate web application - just like ""
(nothing inbetween the quotes intentionally). So in both cases you are
accessing your sevlets with
http://myserver.com/webapp_path/servlet/actual_servlet - just that in the
second case the webapp_path is blank/empty.

As I said - check the extra/missing "s" servlets/servlet vs. /servlet

Of course, you can blitz the root webapp context entry in server.xml - or
change the path to "/root", then change the servlets webapp path to "/"...
That would acheive want you want.
