web.xml
<servlet-mapping> which servlet should i invoke for this requested URL?
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Servlet_login</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Login</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Servlet_inbox</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>inbox</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet_login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/signin.do</usr-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet_inbox</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/view.do</usr-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
signin.do file mapping to Login.class. So the client or users to get to the servlet.. but it's a made-up name that is NOT the name of the actual servlet class.
hey srinivas,
I appreciate your efforts in writing this article. but you have to write a lot of description around what you are talking about. Your pictures are good, but they do not explain much. Use more words

Considering all the articles available on the web and in books to explain web.xml, this isn't showing any more than the first few pages would inform the user of.
In addition, most .do extensions tend to be struts(1) apps where there is a filter decalred in web.xml that will pass all .do url requests to struts to load up the relevant action class. If you were to code web.xml mappings as you have done then you would come a cropper when introducing struts for example, so it may be best to stay off the .do mapping to standalone servlets.
