Re: Registering Servlet in web.xml file

Hi Puneet ,

if you're using apache tomcat then the answer is quite simple :
use the invoker servlet .

quote :
"The invoker servlet lets you run servlets without first making changes to your Web application's deployment descriptor (i.e., the WEB-INF/web.xml file). Instead, you just drop your servlet into WEB-INF/classes and use the URL http://host/servlet/ServletName (or http://host/webAppName/servlet/ServletName once you start using your own Web applications; ..........). The invoker servlet is extremely convenient when you are learning and even when you are doing your initial development. But, as discussed in the book, you do not want it on at deployment time. ............ You almost certainly want to enable it when learning, but you should disable it again before deploying any real applications. "

you can find instructions on enabling it here.

Hi
I am new to servlets.
Can any body please tell me whether we need to specify each servlet in the
web.xml file.
If I write 25 servlets and some of these servlets are called from jsp and
servlets.Do we still need to register all the 25 servlets in web.xml file.

Is there any way in which I don't require to specify some of the servlets in
the web.xml file.

Thanks
Puneet
