Dynamic Servlet Registration Example

Today I wanted to load a servlet dynamically, and decided to figure out how to do it. It turns out to be really simple.
I created a ServletContextListener and annotated it. In the contextInitialized() method, I set the servlet name, its class, and a mapping and we are done.

We can then deploy the project and watch the magic. Here is the Apache Maven project: dynamic-servlet.zip
