You're talking about the Invoker servlet that automagicly mapped requests to servlets. This is a bad security problem that's best avoided.
First you need to declare all your servlets in web.xml: <servlet> <servlet-name>NameOfServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.mycompany.myproject.MyServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> then declare the mappings of requests to servlets: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>NameOfServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/doAction/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> In servlet specs prior to 2.4, the order of elements in the web.xml file was important. All the <servlet> elements had to be together and precede the <servlet-mapping> elements. Writing the web.xml file to servlet spec 2.4 standard eliminates the ordering requirement. More information on this subject can be found in the servlet specs themselves. Tomcat 5.5 is servlet spec 2.4 conformant but can work with previous servlet specs. http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html --David Alla Winter wrote: >For Tomcat 4.x I didn't have to set up anything in web.xml.
