Including an example of how to, by default, send all output to *one* logfile, and rotate it cleanly on a weekly or monthly base, as any sysadmin would like to do, without having to become a java (or juli) expert. I also recommend the following book for learning Servlets, JSP, etc. Head First Servlets and JSP, 2nd Edition By Bryan Basham, Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates It's an enjoyable read even for us old farts who come from traditional programming backgrounds. It manages to cover both the standards (2.5) and some best practices at the same time. Nice. I'll have to have a look at it..

Re: problems faced in deploying servlet
What are u exactly trying to do? what book you are studying and what examples you are using is not that relevant here. You have written a html file and in the form tag you have configured the action attribute and still you are facing problem. is it? or what exactly is your problem? if possible paste the log.

Thanks s.p.das I looked up your book online using Google Books. I can see on page 31 where your project starts, but it skips the rest of the pages to page 34. I'm guessing this line is your problem: FORM ACTION=servlet/ResponseDemoServlet METHOD=POST Tomcat 4 had something called the invoker servlet turned on by default, which meant requests were passed through the mapping of: servlet/someservletname. Tomcat 6 doesn't have that on by default anymore, and you should leave it that way. All you need to do is update the url-mapping for your form's action to the correct url pattern, based on how you deployed your myapp and how you referenced this servlet in your web.xml. You are likely going to be confused throughout this book if all the examples are based on Tomcat 4. I don't know anyone still putting HTML code in out.println statements. Can you afford to get a newer book on JSP/Servlets? There are also semi-decent websites that have some newer content.
