Tomcat's "default" servlet [1] is mapped to "/". The "default" servlet is a servlet that serves static resources as well as serves the directory listings (if enabled). You should know that when you map your servlet to "/" then you will override the "default" servlet mapping. So you should ensure that your servlet will do the same as "default" one in order to serve the static resources. When you map your servlet to "/someclass" then the static resources will be served by "default" servlet as expected.
