Compile it and put the java/class files in /web-inf/classes   then access it as   http://<hostname>/<appname>/servlet/my.package.name.ClassName   (or if you put it in your default webb app the url is http://<hostname>/servlet/my.package.name.ClassName )   So if your SimpleServlet resides in a default package on your localmachine and in the default app the url would be   http://localhost/servlet/SimpleServlet     as for editing web.xml it is easy. XML is textbased.     just add a block like the following : <servlet>   <servlet-name>UserLogin</servlet-name>   <display-name>UserLogin</display-name>   <servlet-class>my.very.long.packagename.UserLoginServlet</servlet-class>   <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>  </servlet>   and of course change all values.   The nice thing about web.xml is that it lets you alias your servlets.   In the above example the url would be   http://localhost/servlet/UserLogin (servlet-name)   Johan ----- Original Message ----- From: Jens Frank To: Orion-Interest Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 9:37 PM Subject: Servlets Hello, I am newbie on this. I have a schoolaccount on a computer running Orion-server. I want to try out a clean java servlet, no JSP or anything else.. On my account there is a folder called WEB-INF and that folder contains 2 folders. classes and lib. In WEB-INF there also is a file called web.xml. What do I have to do to be able to run my servlet called SimpleServlet? Someone told me to change web.xml but I do not how to handle xml. Also, where should my servlet-file go? Should I complie it and send the .class file or send the .java file? Where should I put it? In the classes folder?   Many thanx for answears......     Best Regards, Jens Frank
