A web application follows the following directory structure:
\MyWebApplicationName
\web-inf\web.xml
\web-inf\classes
\web-inf\lib
Any html or jsp files you want directly accessible by a web client are
placed in the root directory (in this case under MyWebApplicationName).
Your two servlets (MyCart and MyOrder) would either be placed under
web-inf\classes or web-inf\lib (bundled as a zip or jar).
This directory hierarchy can then be deployed as is, or zipped into a
file ending with the .war extension. Once packaged as a web
application it can be deployed on any servlet 2.2 compliant or higher
servlet container.

maya:
as long as both servlets run in the same context i.e. same directory
setup
during tomcat (servlet container) startup, they will be considered part
of
the same web application.
hope this clarifies.
