Cannot invoke servlet from JSP

Question

I am trying to invoke a servlet from my JSP file. At present I am getting the error:
500 Internal Server Error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource /servlet/CreateSPSS not found
     at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.2.0.2)].server.http.EvermindPageContext.forward
I understand that my JSP cannot find my servlet but I cannot identify what the correct path or amendment is.
My JSP file is located in:
default-web-app/examples/jsp/com.xml2spss.jsp
In the JSP my forward parameter is :
<jsp:forward page="/servlet/CreateSPSS" />
and my servlet (.java & .class) is located in
default-web-app/WEB-INF/classes/com/pmstation/spss/site/servlet.CreateSPSS.java
I have added the following line to Web.XML:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CreateSPSS</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/CreateSPSS</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Where am I going wrong??
Thankyou for any help at all on this one.

Shaun,
Nice to know that you find a way that works. However, what Zsolt suggests should work; otherwise, it is a bug. That is, put the servlet definition and servlet mapping in your web.xml and then you should be able to access http://host:port/myWebContext/servlet/CreateSPSS?myParmName=myParm without seeing a response like "No resource found". Please make sure that your servlet definition come before the corresponding servlet mapping.
