Actually, that doesn't look right.  If you didn't create a logical name,
then I would expect the path to be:
http://localhost:8008/yoursite/servlet/SeasideServlet/counter
You can configure a logical name to shorten this to something like:
http://localhost:8008/yoursite/seaside/counter
You can only use the first form if you configure your site to support 
unregistered servlets.  This is described in an extremely terse manner
In Seaside.AAADocumentation>>settingThingsUp.  Here is a sample site
file that I use for testing:

=============================================

[configuration]
  directory = c:/temp
  environment = Seaside
  description = My Test Site
  aliases = default; mysite
  registeredServlets = true
  home = index.html
[logical-names]
seaside = servlet/SeasideServlet

============================================


The documentation is scattered, terse and inaccurate.  Since you are the
first user of the VW port that I've heard from and this is my first major
publish to the Cincom repository, perhaps you can help me out:

  Where would you expect to find documentation for a port in the repository?
  There is some in class AAADocumentation and some stale documentation in
  the bundle comment.  You can't see either one until you load and then
  you have to know where to look.
