The .class file is a compiled version of the .java file, ready for execution by the servlet container.
For your second question, you only need to define the servlet name, as you have already earlier declared the servlet name like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name> SomeName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.company.name.Servlet</servlet-name>
</servlet>So when you do the servlet mapping you use the servlet name instead.
Your servlets should be located in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/$WEBAPP/WEB-INF/lib/$JARFILE if you pack them up as a jar
or in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/$WEBAPP/WEB-INF/classes if you did not pack them up in a jar file.

In WEB-INF\classes\ I always find 2 kind of file SendMailServlet.java
and SendMailServlet.class,
what is the difference btw *.java and *.class ?
In the servlet mapping fields, why it only shows the
name of the servlet, not the full path to where it
located for example c:\tomcat\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\SendMailServlet?
