Owen seems to have puzzled out the Delphi stuff. I know nothing about it. It would still be helpful if you could look at your WEB-INF/ directory in the .war and show us the contents of web.xml. (See Lew's link.)

If you're just starting out, check out O'Reilly's Head Start Servlets & JSP. It goes into web.xml configuration in great detail.
