You don't add classes, you add WARs. Servlets are meaningless outside a
WAR.
To put it another way, you need to write a little shell script which packs
your classes into a trivial WAR - it wouldn't be hard.
Can't I just put my bl**dy servlets in a directory and run them?
No.
Yes.
Can't say much about Tomcat since I don't use it, but with Jetty you can
deploy webapps to a directory as easily as deploying a WAR. The
directory just has to have the right structure (meaning, it must have
the WEB-INF directory and the proper files inside WEB-INF)...
