Hi,
Each time I create a new file within a package within a project, when I call the servlet e.g. http://host/servlet/package.Servlet, it never works. When I leave out the package name in the URL it does work. Why is this?
I can work around it by editing the web application web.xml file. The <url-pattern> tag must be edited and the package name inserted into it in order for me to be able to call my servlet with the package name in the URL. I don’t think I should really have to do this though. Is there something I am missing on the config?

The <url-pattern> tag associates a servlet with a URL. When a request arrives, the container uses a simple procedure for matching the URL in the request with a url-pattern in the web.xml.
What your doing is not a worksround. Thats the way a servlet is mapped to a URL.

OK, but should I really have to enter the package name in the mappings?shouldn’t that happen when I create the servlet i.e. shouldn’t the web.xml file be written to with the fully qualified name of the servlet (package name included)?

Mapping the servlet is a manual process. It doesn’t happen automatically.
Ok thanks. But each time I restart the Server,the mapping defaults back to the original setting i.e. it deletes the package name from the URL Patternand I have to change the mappings again. Does anyone know why this is happening?
