Suns Java Web server and servlets

[John McDonald]

I have run into an issue that I hope someone can assist with. I have Sun's Java web server running on win32. I am familiar with Java, but new to servlets. My problem is that when I try to execute or load and new class file(one that does NOT come with the Java web server) for some reason neither the web server nor my browser can seem to find the class file. The file resides in the servelts directory, and I have tried placing the file everywhere within the server file system. The weird part is that in the exact same directory(servlets) will load/execute the counter class file just fine. This is a fresh install of the Java web server. I have never been able to find/execute new class files. HELP? J.D.M
