Why can't you use a servlet definition and mapping like this:

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>My Servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>testpackage.SomePackageClass</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>My Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet/testpackage/SomePackageClass</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

which would support your desired URL?
