If the package statement at the top of HelloWorld.java is:
package foo;
Then:
newapp/WEB-INF/classes/foo/HelloWorld.class
Is correct.

Yes.

Because it is singluar. The system is only looking for one specific
template.
The DynamicURI/ParameterParser combination of classes uses PATH_INFO to do
name=value mapping, so the above URL could also be written as:
http://localhost:8080/newapp/servlet/newapp?template=HelloWorld.vm
And that would work equally well.
I think that you are thinking that there is a direct mapping between
newapp/templates/screens and the URL and that is not entirely the case.
template is simply a name/value pair variable.
The reason why we overload the PATH_INFO and added the functionality there
is so that you can create URL's without a "?" in them because search engines
will not index websites with a "?" in them because they are assumed to be
dynamic and therefore not worth indexing. We believe otherwise. :-)

Yup.
