If your servlet needs at least a 2.1 compliant engine but you could
install
it on an engine that isnt ????? how did you do that ?

put your jar file under your webapps/ROOT/lib dir
put your classes under webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/
and maybe read the docs and readmes

work on your server.xml and your web.xml
sorry but you dont really make sense

You can "alias servlets in your web.xml under WEB-INF
example :
<web-app>
<servlet>
 <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>Servlet1</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/HelloWorld.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping> =

</web-app>

so something like http://myserver.com/servlet/Servlet1 becomes
http://myserver.com/HelloWorld.htm
