You need to do a number of things, assuming that I understand the question.
1) create your servlet (duh)
2) create jsp (duh also)
3) modify WEB-INF/web.xml
add servlet entry for the servlet, should look something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>foo</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.somewhere.Bar</servlet-class>
</servlet
add a mapping for a file extension to the servlet, looks like this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>foo</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.form</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Note: the name of the servlet should be the same in both places and in
order to have tomcat auto-magically map the request to the servlet you
need have the link or action have the extension that you specify in the
url-pattern.
Now there's an added complication if you're not running tomcat stand alone
(ie
using mod_jk and apache or something) in that you'll need to also tell the
front end web server to pass the requests for your mapping through to tomcat
as well (this is the part that I *always* forget about).
If you have any problems setting this up email and I'll try to answer
questions
or provide examples.
