Well, we haven't finalized it yet, but we do have a class naming scheme for 
our servlet classes, so it might be as simple as writing a script that does a 
search for "*Servlet.class" and creates aliases based on the rest of the name 
preceding that. Possibly. Or we might do it a similar way to the way we're 
doing JSP TLD auto-generation, where we have a web-application written using 
the same tags which we use to document the tags, and then we generate a tld 
from that documentation. There's some benefit to that as the configuration 
arises out of the documentation, which we need anyway, so it should stay in 
sync.
