Where is your web.xml located? And if it is located inside foo/WEB-INF/
then have you tried accessing the servlet when you remove the web.xml?

I'm a novice and I'm working through the Tomcat documentation.
(I'm using Tomcat 5.) I've gotten to step 3,
http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/appdev/deployment.html
I'd previously compiled the "HelloWorld" example from the O'Reilly book on
Java Servlet Programming by Hunter. I then wanted to run it from the
browser, so I set up something like the servlets-examples that also has a
HelloWorldExample, so I did the following:
1. created a "foo" directory under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
2. created a WEB-INF directory under "foo"
3. created a "classes" directory under WEB-INF
4. copied the HelloWorld.java and HelloWorld.class files to
the "classes" directory and made them world readable.
5. chmod all directories 755
6. created a web.xml file from tomcat-docs/appdev/web.xml.txt
7. created an index.html file under "foo" that has a hyperref to
"servlet/HelloWorld"
8. restarted Tomcat
I checked the log files and I've eliminated the parsing errors for the
web.xml file. I'm able to visit the index.html file, but when I click on
the
link to "servlet/HelloWorld" I get a 404.
Note that the web.xml.txt file says that I should be able to execute my
servlet just by accessing localhost:8080/foo/servlet/HelloWorld, yet I'm
not able to do so. I think that means that the problem isn't in my web.xml
file (even though that's the most complicated and error-prone step).
I also tried putting the HelloWorld.* files in
webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes,
as directed in the Hunter book, but that didn't work either (404).
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this very simple example working?
Thanks,
Scott
