> I go and recompile HelloWorldExample > javac HelloWorldExample.java That's not sufficient to compile a servlet. You will also need a -cp argument to inform the compiler where servlet-api.jar is located. If you attempt to do this via the CLASSPATH environment variable - don't. Using the CLASSPATH variable is a major cause of classloading confusion and difficult to diagnose problems. If you have CLASSPATH defined, get rid of it before doing anything else, and smack yourself if you ever feel tempted to use it again. When your current directory is ${catalina.base}/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes, your javac line should look like this: javac -cp ../../../../lib/servlet-api.jar HelloWorldExample.java > 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 I've done the same thing on my 6.0.18 installation, and it works fine. Do you have a JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME environment variable set? If so, what's the value? You should also be able to find additional information in the logs, including a possible stack trace of the underlying problem. > There has never been an examples/servlets/servlet directory... Don't confuse URL paths with file system paths - they're independent. If you look in webapps/examples/WEB-INF/web.xml, you'll see a servlet mapping for /servlets/servlet/HelloWorldExample that targets the servlet named HelloWorldExample, which is configured to use the HelloWorldExample.class. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
