What path does the Manager display for your app? If tomcat is auto-deploying your app, then it should be /MySeatMap since that is the subdir of webapps in which your WEB-INF/web.xml resides. Then you should be accessing http://localhost:8080/MySeatMap/seating
If you are using a <Context path="/mypath" docBase="MySeatMap" /> element in server.xml, then your URL should be http://localhost:8080/mypath/seating Remember, the <servlet-mapping> elements only tell the container which servlet classes to invoke WITHIN that servlet's context path. Nothing in web.xml defines the context path itself. Try the above URL's and let us know if it works.
