registering servlets

[Mills, Theo]

I'm trying to register a servlet so that I can invoke it like this:

http://host/any-path/servletName

rather than:

http://host/servlet/servletName

I've tried adding my servlet to my web.xml using <servlet-name> and
<servlet-class>, but I still have to go through /servlet/ to get to it:

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>secretServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>coreservlets.ProtectedPage</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>passwordFile</param-name>
 
<param-value>C:\\tomcat\\webapps\\ROOT\\WEB-INF\\passwords.properties</param
-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

Any suggestions?
