Good questions, all. It doesn't matter to me if "servlet" shows up in the URL (it matters to some people/projects) so I haven't worried about it. I think using "servlet" is just a convention...in my projects, I usually prepend the application name to it. For example, if the application is XYZ, then I use XYZServlet to denote that application's servlet directory, not "servlet". Same goes for company names...if you have company ABC using a particular app, you might say "ABCServlet".
I think, if you tell apache that "index.jsp" is a valid starting page, you can just call "/mydir" instead of "/mydir/" and have that JSP page redirect wherever you want.

So I need to shut apache down, change the config and restart everytime I deploy a new webapp? OK...so I did what you said, and now I can point my browser to http://host/examples/ and it shows me a directory listing like page...which is better than I saw before. If I do http://host/examples/jsp/ I get the index.html page I expect to get. Great! so I put a JkMount /myApp ajp13 in httpd.conf and if I have $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myApp.war the app will deploy and I should be able to visit http://host/myApp and run the app. One last stupid question... So what's JkMount /servlet ajp13 for in the examples?...I mean is /servlet specific or should there be an additional note for stupid guys like me who don't get that /servlet should be replaced with actual real servlets on your system?
