Question

I have written a class in java that will be called from a JSP file, I already have Servlet mapping defined in the web.xml file (there is already an existing jsp project), my question is Do I have to define a new servlet mapping to point to my class.
Here is content is the web,xml file:

     <servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>

     <servlet-class>Test</servlet-class>

  </servlet>



    <servlet-mapping>

       <servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>

       <url-pattern>/Test</url-pattern>

    </servlet-mapping>



   <mime-mapping>

    <extension>ico</extension>

    <mime-type>image/x-icon</mime-type>

   </mime-mapping>

From JSP you can directly access the Java class(by creating instance probably). only servlets need mapping in web.xml.(All servlets must be mapped to a url) If you want a servelt to be invoked from JSP then use requestDispatcher.
