O.K., that caused the effect I was looking for. Based on this result, I changed the code in the JSP that called the servlet. I modified the action attribute for the form that calls the servlet.
old version: action="servlet/chapter2.login" new version: action="chapter2/login" Thanks to everyone who responded. I think I can carry on from here. I recognize the need to understand the basics, but I need a crack to plant my toe in so I can learn by experimenting. This has given me that toe-hold. -- Charles Knell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - email -----Original Message----- From: "Shapira, Yoav" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Mon, 23 Jun 2003 14:45:46 -0400 To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: RE: RE: Getting servlet to run Howdy, ><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> > ><!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC > '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN' > 'http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd'> > ><web-app> > <servlet> > <servlet-name>login</servlet-name> > <servlet-class>chapter2.login</servlet-class> > </servlet> > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>login</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/chapter2/login</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> ></web-app> What happens when you go to http://yourhost/chapter2/login ? > The docs on the Tomcat site haven't been much help so far.

The tomcat documentation assumes familiarity with the servlet specification. This you can get from any number of books out there or the Servlet Specification itself, downloadable from java.sun.com/servlets. Alternatively, you could just ask specific question, e.g. "what is servlet-mapping and how to do I use it?" and you'll get good answers. This is not a complete substitute for understanding the basics, but will get you started.
