What is invoker servlet in Tomcat Container? How can we disable it

[Sarath Mohan]

I am new to Tomcat JSP/servlet container. I just created a simple Servlet and deployed and invoked
http://localhost:8080/myapp/servlet/HelloServet
Tomcat says resource not Found!. Why does it say like this?
I heard one invoker servlet handles all request which is having /servlet/
I don't want this feature, what should I do?

Like all servlets, the invoker is configured in a web.xml file. Look in the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml file - the default for all applications.
Turning off the invoker and configuring your application's web.xml according to the servlet API is highly recommended.

Well for one, the invoker is *off* by default in Tomcat versions 4.1.12 and above.

Which is *why* it said "resource not found".
