The invoker servlet is commented out by default in
4.1x. Anonymous servlets are considered a security
risk.
There are at least three ways to manage this problem.
1. Uncomment the following in your Tomcat's web.xml
file.
<!-- The mapping for the invoker servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This maps the invoker servlet and allows anonymous
servlets in your application. Read the documentation
concerning the security issues, and also know that
this is a nonstandard feature of Tomcat.
2. Use the invoker servlet only in your web
application. This has the same ramifications as the
first solution, but constrained to a single
application. Add the following to your
/<app-name>/WEB-INF/web.xml
<!-- for anonymous servlets -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
3. Add each and every servlet to the web.xml file,
complete with a URL mapping. This is the preferred
way. Here is an example.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>example1</servlet-name>
<display-name>example1</display-name>
<servlet-class>myclasses.example1</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>example1</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>servlet/example1</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
