I think the httpd.conf example that comes with Apache JServ has a line
saying something like:
ApJServAction .jsp /servlets/org.gjt.jsp.JSPServlet

If you change this to something like the following, the servlet is
called by its correct alias and the parameters are passed on correctly:
ApJServAction .jsp /servlets/jsp
