You must explicitly declare and map every servlet in web.xml, or use the Invoker servlet. The invoker servlet is disabled everywhere but the examples web application for security reasons and is not recommended for production.
And no, you need a web.xml file. If you don't have one, Tomcat will use the global web.xml file which may not be appropriate for what you want to do.

Hi I'm new to the whole java scene but I'm trying to get some example and
test servlets running and having all kinds of problems. I have a working
tiny servlet thats compiled as ExampleServlet.class. However the only place
I can get tomcat to execute it is when i put it in the (tomcat home
dir)\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes dir with the rest of the examples.
When I create my own directory under (tomcat home
dir)\webapps\begjsp\WEB-INF\classes and put it there it will not execute it
i get the error 404
type Status report
message /begjsp/servlet/ExampleServlet
description The requested resource (/begjsp/servlet/ExampleServlet) is not
available
Which is highly annoying. When I run the manager and list the running
webapps it lists the begjsp as being deployed and running. Makes no sense!
This is basically a default install.. and I read there is a web.xml file
that generally goes into the WEB-INF\ folder but I am missing one, it should
run even without one correct? Here's my class code just incase I screwed it
up somehow.. but it works in the examples folder..:
import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class ExampleServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
PrintWriter out;
String title = "Servlet Example";
response.setContentType("text/html");
out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html><head><title>");
out.println(title);
out.println("</title></head><body>");
out.println("<h1>This is an example servlet.</h1>");
out.println("</body></html>");
out.close();
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
doGet(request, response);
}
}
Any and ALL help appreciated =)
