using the local Server for servlets' testing

[Tudor Bratescu]

Hi, I am trying to install and use your Web server that comes with the jsdk2.1 in order to develop some servlets. To make it simple, I copyed the HelloWorld class from "JAVA Servlet Programming (Jason Hunter)" and I am trying to run it. I am trying with no success to run a HelloWorld servlet, and I am always getting the message "URL not found in offline mode". Here is what I did so far: - CLASSPATH points to root/jsdk2.1/server.jar - CLASSPATH points to root/jsdk2.1/servlet.jar - I put the HelloWorld.class in root/jsdk2.1/webpages/Web-inf/servlets - I changed the Initial environment in the DOS window from "Auto" to 2816 - I started the server using startserver command - I started the Internet Explorer in offline mode - I tryed the address : http://localhost:8080/servlet/HelloWorld   (I got "URL not found in offline mode") - I tryed the address : http://localhost:8080/jsdk1.2/webpages/Web-inf/servlet/HelloWorld   (I got "URL not found in offline mode") - I tryed then to run Snoop servlet which is registred using the URL: http://localhost:8080/webpages/web-inf/servlet/snoop as well as http://localhost:8080/servlet/snoop  (I got "URL not found in offline mode" in both cases)   "This sounds like a problem with your system whereby it can't resolve a localhost lookup" ,saied James Todd from [EMAIL PROTECTED] who recomended me to post the question at the present adress.   Can you please tell me what do you think is missing or mistaken when running HelloWorld ? Thanks, Teodor
