It is highly unusual to refer to classes directly in the app URL.
Instead one refers to mappings to servlets (ideally JSPs in most
cases), which as Mark Space said are set in the web.xml.

In your example URL (aside: the words "Java" and "Class" in the URL
are bad practice), "javaApp" is the application context and
"TestClass" is the servlet or page identifier.

I'm not sure what you mean by the word "load" in "would load
TestClass?". "Loading a class" has a meaning different from
"displaying a page". What the URL does is identify to the app server
(e.g., Tomcat) what page you want to display, or alternatively, what
servlet you want to invoke. Loading a class is what Tomcat does, or
may do, as part of accessing the specified resource, but is by no
means what the URL signifies.
