Using the element on web.xml to define short name for a servlet in a package

[Eitan Ben Noach]

 Hello,
 
 I'm running standalone tomcat.
 
 I'm trying to use  the <servlet> element on web.xml to define 
 short name for a servlet in a package, but it doesn't work.
 
 I put a package called FTPExplorer.jar under 
 /admin/web-inf/lib containing the servlet named
 com.company.ftpexplorer.FTPExplorerServlet.class
 
 When calling the servlet with following URL:
 http://localhost:8080/admin/servlet/com.company.ftpexplorer.FT
 PExplorerServlet
 the servlet works ok.
 
 I've defined the following <servlet> element on the main 
 tomcat web.xml

        <servlet>
                <servlet-name>
             controller
         </servlet-name>
                <servlet-class>
             com.company.ftpexplorer.FTPExplorerServlet
         </servlet-class>
        </servlet>

 When trying to call the servlet with either URLs:
 http://localhost:8080/controller
 http://localhost:8080/admin/servlet/controller
 
 Tomcat can't find the servlet ( 404 )
 
 What is wrong ?
 
 Thanks,
