Oh!! I see.
Automatic installation is not supposed not work for servlets
in a package, you should add it by hand. So read the
manual installation page for servlet [1] .
Add a ServletWrapper under /servlet and set the class field to
com.xxx.xxx.MyServlet ...

Note: The fact that http://yourhost/servlet/com.xxx.xxx.MyServlet
"works" is a side effect, this is not the right way to access your servlet.
(but this could be)
