You do not need to if your application exists under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps. The classes are automatically picked up. Set the reloadable property to true in the <Context> definition. This way if you happen to make changes to an existing servlet then it is loaded automatically too.
Thanks.

If you don't put servlet descriptors in web.xml, how else do you publish it ? I guess my question is which APIs in Tomcat (catalina) do you use to "deploy" a new servlet without bringing down Apache/Tomcat.
