Changing default servlet url

[JB...@silenus.com]

I'm in the process of switching from JServ to Tomcat.  All the servlets
that were running previously are running now on tomcat but they have
different urls.  I need the url to be the same as it was before I switched
to tomcat and am having trouble.

My servlet is in:
     c:\tomcat\webapps\dir1\WEB-INF\classes
I used the same setup as the examples.  To reach that servlet you have to
use the following url:
http://localhost/dir1/servlet/ServletName

I need the url to not have the 'servlet' in it.  Anybody know how to do
this?  Also, how does tomcat determine the servlet is in the
WEB-INF\classes directory?  Does it alias that as 'servlet'?  If so, where
is this done?

Frustrated...

Here is the solution to that problem. 2 assumptions :
Using apache + mod_jk + tomcat. I included the mod_jk.conf (do an Include in
the httpd.conf from apache) and the server.xml. Look for the webapps/cubic
context and replace with your own stuff..
You (probably) need some fixing on some settings.
You servlets will be reachable under /servlet/ and with a bit of luck under
/servlets/ (it's bin a while since I used this build..)

Have fun,
