4.2.4.4.1.1: Invoking servlets and JSP files by URLs
Users can invoke a servlet or JSP file by its URL, using a browser to open:
http://your.server.name/application_Web_path/servlet_or_JSP_Web_path
Users must be provided with the URL to use in order to invoke the servlet.
See the Related information to learn how to determine the URL.
Appending /$/foo to the URL allows you to access the servlet URL, but
the URL is then misunderstood by the runtime environment.
This type of URL may create a security exposure.
The best practice for securing servlets is to follow the Java security specifications
documented in the Securing applications section.
Note that in order for servlets to be invoked by their class names,
the administrator must have manually enabled the option while configuring the
Web application to which the servlet belongs.
