Yes, you do need to provide a servlet mapping for each of your servlets you
wish to run, unless you want to run the invoker servlet (not recommended).
Usually you map a different url pattern for each servlet in your webapp.
This can be somewhat tedious, so I use XDoclet to generate my web.xml file
for me! But, for simple projects, this is not necessary.
