1. Do I really have to compile a servlet manually using javac (or using another tool) or may I save it in a specific folder so Tomcat compiles it to me?
You have to do this, Tomcat won't do it for you.
2. Do I really have to register my servlets in web.xml file or this process can be done automatically by Tomcat?
Yes, you have to do this as well.
When I did the test with jsp pages, it was not necessary compile or register the file (Tomcat did everything to me) so I expect the same with servlets.
Putting it *very* simply, JSPs are a friendly way to write servlets. A big part of this is not having to compile them or putting mappings in web.xml.
Thanks,

However, all is not lost. There are plenty of IDEs and plug-ins for IDEs out there that will do all of this for you and deploy your application to your server of choice as well.
I don't want to start a long thread on which is best so I won't mention my personal favourite. Have a look at the docs/web-site for your IDE see what is available.
