The servlet tag: ****************** <servlet> <servlet-name>home</servlet-name> <servlet-class>home</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> *************************** is just something I came up with after reading the Chapter 5 document on moreservlets.com. This solved the slowness problem for me (NOTE: my app is all servlets and no JSP's, so I don't know how this affects JSP's).
My solution may be violating all kinds of security issues...I am a novice with Tomcat and am just feeling my way as I go along (actually I expected to be thrashed by someone ;-) who is more expert). I am still in the process of reading the rest of Ch. 5. RE: but I do not see why the servlet-mapping tag is there: Ron you are correct...I did this as my first solution and it worked. I subsequently read that it can be done globally, rather than in each individual web.xml, but I haven't got around to changing it yet (and may never change it, as the current solution works and I agree with Shakespeare: "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well."
