Your HTTP server gets first crack at the request, and
there are many possibilities for how the server decides
to map a particular url. You'll have to consult your server's
documentation to find out the details. If you happen to be
using Tomcat or Tomcat/Apache, there are some informative
docs at:
<URL:http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html>
After the request makes it to the servlet engine, the
process is defined by the servlet specification, available
at:
<URL:http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html>
It can get a little tricky, because a servlet can
redispatch a request, and there can now be things called
"filters". (See the 2.3 spec)
If you just mean "how does it normally happen, and
how do I set things up", then check the spec or some of
the more generic docs at the Tomcat site, paying
particular attention to "webapps" and a file called
"web.xml".
