    Look in the web.xml file, there should be one or more <servlet> and
    <servlet-mapping> sections. Those tell Tomcat what Servlets to call when
    different URLs are used.

      <servlet>
          <servlet-name>pdf</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>edu.asu.vpia.webapp.PDFServlet</servlet-class>
      </servlet>

      <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>pdf</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/pdf</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>

    What this says is: when you get a request that ends in /pdf, execute the
    Servlet named 'pdf', which is contained in the
    edu.asu.vpia.webapp.PDFServlet class.

    In your example, it might be /MyServlet (so you'd use
    http://localhost:8080/MyServlet ) but it could be anything... only web.xml
    (or the documentation) can tell you.

    If you're stuck, post or email the web.xml and someone can help figure it
    out.
