You still seem to be confusing the concepts of webapp and servlet. A servlet is a single Java class that extends the HttpServlet class, providing concrete methods for various HTTP operations. A webapp is a collection of servlets and other resources; only the most trivial webapp would consist of a single servlet. Consequently, any servlet you're writing must be within the context of a webapp. > /opt/secm/servlet directory has WEB-INF structure with class file and > web.xml file. > What rights has to have direcotry servlet and all subdirectories.
