servlet mapping entails which directory you would like your classes to =
be or to be named, and where the actual servlet will be.
Also, will it be mapped to a different name? That's typically a good =
idea, from what I've read.

i..e here's a blurb from the web.xml file what servlet mapping would =
look like.

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>chngctrl.ChangeControlUserAcctServletSPCall</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/chngctrl/ChangeControlUsersSP.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>     =20

that JSP you see is a "fake jsp" the file doesn't exist but that's where =
the action file from the form points. It actually calls the servlet =
instead, under the hood.

But further up the page, you have to declare the servlet name, i.e.

   <servlet> =20
           =
<servlet-name>chngctrl.ChangeControlUserAcctServletSPCall</servlet-name>
           =
<servlet-class>chngctrl.ChangeControlUserAcctServletSPCall</servlet-class=
>
  </servlet>=20

you could make a different name for your class from your servlet if you =
wanted, but I think most people don't...probably too confusing in the =
long run.

Thanks for the info.  However, I am new to tomcat and servlets and as =
such
am still somewhat unclear as to the resolution to this problem.  Can you
clarify.  What exactly is servlet - mapping?

Thanks,

D

The invoker servlet has been disabled in the default config for ages=20
(because it is evil :).  You can enable it at your own risk in =
conf/web.xml,

but that isn't recommended.  Use an explicit servlet-mapping instead.

Having classes in the default package will prevent you from upgrading =
later=20
on.  You really should put your class in a package.
