<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyUpdatesServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.servlets.MyUpdatesServlet</servlet-class>

<load-on-startup>7</load-on-startup>

</servlet>

3. Change into

<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyUpdatesServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>myimplementation.MyUpdatesServlet</servlet-class>

<load-on-startup>7</load-on-startup>

</servlet>

4. Open “<LC Profile Root>\config\cells\<Cell>\applications\Blogs.ear\deployments\Blogs\blogs.war\WEB-INF\web.xml”
