What is the URL to access a particular servlet with URI mapping?

Question

I am trying to port my app from jrun to weblogic. I was able to port
          from jrun to tomcat without much of a problem.
          However with weblogic it has been a nightmare.
          Both jrun and tomcat(and websphere) provide the /servlet mapping by
          default. However weblogic doesn't do that. You have to add a mapping for
          every servlet which is a nightmare for any reasonably sized
          application(other than HelloWorld). How can one add 100 servlets to the
          web.xml ? Also if you have an app which can be extended by the client,
          you have to ask him to add each servlet to the web.xml instead of just
          asking him to put the classes in a directory. I wonder who is using
          weblogic to deploy servlets base apps.
          I hope there is a workaround or that i am wrong. Let me know if i am.

          Hmm. Well you are right. jRun and Tomcat are definitely easier to use.
          (Don't get me started on Websphere. An earlier version took one of my
          engineers a month to get it running. I'm still mad about that.)

          Yes, Weblogic also occasionally deviates from standards as well,
          unfortunately for you not this time. ;-)
          Have you looked at Weblogic's ServletServlet. I think it does what you
          want.

          How can one develop an application that doesn't have 100 servlets? ;-) (I
          like to have only one personally.)
          Generally if you have to do it:
          1) Notepad IDE using the advanced Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V document-transmogrification
          feature
          2) ANT
          3) A tool that writes the XMLs for you (my personal preference)

          Wow. I'm really not sure if I'm comfortable with this chaos that you are
          describing. I'm having issues.
