I don't use servlets (thru Oracle, at least), so the following might not help. It's from a no longer in print book (Oracle Web Applications 101) ... but the author maintains a web site (http://www.vesterli.com):

<quote>
Configuring to Run Servlets

Just as you have to tell the HTTP server where to find static files, you have to tell the JServ servlet engine where to find your servelets.

The JServ configuration is split between many files. It can be a bit tricky trying to follow which files include which, but you just need to know that the file zone.properties contains the servlet repositories, which are directories that the servlet engine searches for servlets. </quote>

You might verify that this file is correct. You might also want to look at the author's web site - Sten has several white papers that he's presented at IOUG and elsewhere that might have some answers for you.
