Docs on how Tomcat uses URL to locate file to process

Hi All,

I'm a Tomcat newbie and a Java light-weight. I just installed Tomcat
6.0 and ran it's Hello World servlet example. I want to learn how
Tomcat decomposes/translates the URL to identify the file to be
translated into HTML and JavaScript.

I know how this works in Ruby/Rails.

URL(s) for tutorials on this would be most appreciated. In the
meantime, I'm looking in the Tomcat documentation.

TIA,
Richard

5.0.27-nt, SciTE 1.72,
FireFox 2.0.0.1, IE 7.0, OE 6.0, MS Office 2003 SP2,
Java JVM 1.5.0_11-b03, Apache Tomcat/6.0.13,
AVG-Free 7.5.430, Prevx1 2.0.2.23, Startup Cop Pro 2.03

I think http://localhost:8080/docs/appdev/deployment.html will serve
my purposes.
