My servlet requires access to a properties file and I'm trying to
determine the best implementation. I tried copying the properties file
to the Webapps\"ContextRoot"\Web-Inf\lib directory, but Tomcat could not
locate the file. I had to add the properties file to the classpath
within TOMCAT.BAT
After downloading the binaries, you should be able to extract the files
and then launch startup.bat. A console window should display with
Tomcat running. Here's a display of the extracted tomcat directory
hierarchy. Test Tomcat by going to http://localhost:8080/.
Good luck
