1 - Yes, you have to compile them 2 - If you don't want to register your servlets in web.xml, you can use the Invoker servlet. However, I believe there are security issues with it, since it will allow any servlet on your site to be run.

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? 2. Do I really have to register my servlets in web.xml file or this process can be done automatically by Tomcat? 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.
