Hello,

           This is a very common problem, that any startup guy faces. All
that you have to do, is first check, if the webserver classpath
"servlet.jar" file, is set properly. Mostly what happens with people who are
fairly new to servlets, is that they just unzip the whole webserver packing,
and get to typing their servlets.
Secondly, if you have another webserver running, like say Microsoft IIS, or
MS Personal Web Server, then also, you will face a problem, as the two may
at sometimes clash to feed pages to the browser.
To get good documentation on the type of webserver that you are running, all
that you have to do, is just type http://localhost:8080, on your browser.
Obviously, you will have to start it up first.
If you are a new comer to Servlets, then try using the "servletrunner", that
comes with "jsdk". This is a real goo peiec of software, all that you need
to do is all "%java_home%\bin\servletrunner", and
"%java_home%\lib\jsdk.jar", to you class path.
%java_home%, is the first "jdk" installation directory.

Regards,
Santosh
