Thanks for your help. I haven't been doing Java in a while so bear with me. Tomcat is entirely new to me.
java -version java version "1.6.0_07" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06-153) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode) Output from log really puzzles me. (I uncommedted AccessValve like you said) Here is the sequence of events: (1) I install Tomcat and try out the HelloWorldExample. All is well and log shows 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0 - - [02/Apr/2009:15:40:11 -0400] "GET /examples/servlets/servlet/HelloWorldExample HTTP/1.1" 200 359 (2) Next I go and recompile HelloWorldExample (saving a copy of original class file) javac HelloWorldExample.java OK but whoops (class file has changed!) ls -l HelloWorld*class* -rw-r--r-- 1 martindunford staff 1723 Apr 2 15:46 HelloWorldExample.class -rw-r--r-- 1 martindunford staff 2058 Apr 2 15:46 HelloWorldExample.class.orginal (3) I restart (stop/start) Tomcat HelloWorldExample fails. Sure enough log shows 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0 - - [02/Apr/2009:15:48:58 -0400] "GET /examples/servlets/servlet/HelloWorldExample HTTP/1.1" 404 952 (4) Notes - There has never been an examples/servlets/servlet directory... puzzling..
