5.0.16 sample deploys!, one recommendation and one question

[Ray Tayek <rt...@comcast.net>]

hi, i finaly got the sample to deploy. needed to change a line in the 
deploy task to: war="file://${dist.home}/${app.name}-${app.version}.war"/> 
(it was just: war="file://${build.home}"/>).

thanks to all of you who work on tomcat.

the sample comes with an web/index.html that gets put in in myapp/ that i 
can get to work with: http://localhost:8080/myapp/. I had to change a line 
from: <li>To a <a href="hello">servlet</a>. to: <li>To a <a 
href="Hi">servlet</a> using the web.xml below.

all is well, but someone might want to fix that war line and update the 
sample with a web.xml that dtrt.

the question is: is there a way to navigate to the servlet without using 
the servlet mapping. iirc, you could do something like 
8080/myapp/servlet/mypackage/Hello in 4.x or perhaps that was only if you 
were in root. does anyone know the right incantation? it would be nice to 
have a way to navigate directly to the servlet for sanity reasons. iirc, 
there is some switch in a config file somewhere that will allow this.

thanks
