First of all. you must create a web-application under tomcat ( you can use Manager to do that ), put your classes or .jar inside your WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib. After that you can put addicional jsp files or html under your tree. The servlet can see all filesystem, therefore, once you have a request for you servlet, it can do its work.
But maybe is better for take a look in those papers. http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Servlets/Fundamentals / > ---------- > De: R Aravind-A4524C[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Responder: Tomcat Users List > Enviada: quinta-feira, 13 de novembro de 2003 8:54 > Para: Tomcat Users List > Assunto: a doubt!!!!anyone plz > > hi, > i have downloaded and installed the server....i just have a doubt > regarding the use....basically i have a program which talk to the server > and download the java archive files from there....for that i have to > create a directory structure in the server and put this java archive files > and .class files....class file is a servlet....before running my > application i have to set the path till this class file that will be > exeecuted and pick up the files from the dirctory i created..my program > is based on a protocol.........i just wanto knwo will this server can be > used for my application............. > > this is the procedure iam supposed to do... > 1]bundle should be present on a Web Server.
