ServletRedirector does not refer servlet-mapping for its execution.
Information that is needed for execution of a test,
such as test class and method names, is transmitted from the client-side
of the Cactus framework as a set of HTTP parameter.

This is a part of the parameter set.

This parameter directs the service that ServletRedirector should provide
to the client-side, such as CALL_TEST, GET_RESULTS.
As the test execution sequence is determined, the client-side of
the framework can determine specific service suitable for the state.
Please take a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/how_it_works.html

If you mean "servlet-name and its mapping definition in web.xml"
by "the service name of the servlet", the answer is:
	Cactus doesn't determine that. (or Cactus doesn't care of that.)

If you mean something different, please let us know.
