Okay, Mark, Part III, another question: If you don't put your servlet called "myservlet" in a package called "myservlet" as well, why do you use that odd pattern? The pattern looks like you want to use "servlet" as a package name? I am starting to think that you have some left-over confusion from the old days about referencing servlets in a package called "servlet"or something?
