I believe the Servlet invoker requires /servlet/ with no 's'.

It sounds like the Servlets you wish to invoke are not in your web 
application's classpath.  Do these Servlets need to be accessed by 
multiple web apps, or does each web app have its own servlets?  If 
the latter is true, having the Servlets either in your /WEB-INF/lib 
as a .jar package or as files that get compiled and output into 
/WEB-INF/classes should make them visible.  If you need a classpath 
entry for a .jar or .class files outside the webapps directory, it 
is a bit more involved, but fortunately doable.

Sorry if I overlooked part of the issue, but I had to make this reply 
quick.
