   1.  How do I map multiple URLs to point to a single page created with the JavaServer Pages^TM technology (JSP^TM page)?

   The web deployment descriptor maps URLs to web components. For example, the Java Pet Store sample application maps all URLs matching /control/* to MainServlet in web.xml like this:

   <web-app>
     <display-name>WebTier</display-name>
     <description>no description</description>
   
     <servlet>
       <servlet-name>webTierEntryPoint</servlet-name>
       <display-name>centralServlet</display-name>
       <description>no description</description>
       <servlet-class>
     com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.petstore.control.web.MainServlet
       </servlet-class>
     </servlet>
   
     <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>webTierEntryPoint</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/control/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
   
     <!-- web.xml continues... -->
