 Hi,I looked at the web.xml file...and I did not feel confident about where to put the code you said...maybe at the beginning where I can see some other similar codes?  And, I have a question, do I have to update this web.xml file whenever I put servlet classes in a package?  Say, if I create another servlet file called Xyz in a package called abc, then I will have to update this web.xml file again with <servlet-class>abc.xyz</servlet-class> statement? Thanks, June

Subject: Re: running servlet in package
 Hi,

in place of : <servlet-class>test.<yourServletName></servlet-class> put
                  <servlet-class>test.<yourServletClassName></servlet-class>  instead.

Sorry for that!
See you

Hello,

first make sure that your code (class file ) is placed in a folder called test.
Add the file to your classpath.
Then check your web.xml file.
You have to include in your <servlet-class>test.<yourServletName></servlet-class> and you have to reference to your servlet by the alias name you gave it to it. That is the name in the following tag: <servlet-name>yourServletName </servlet-name>
Then to call your servlet you have to call it this way:
http://localhost:8080/contextPath/servlet/yourServletName

Hope this help!
See you!

I am reading Core Servlets and JSP and trying to run a servlet in a package.  I have put "package test; " in the source code and compiled it in the dos using javac -d c:\jakarta\webapps\root\web-inf\classes HelloWorld.java with no problem.  After running that command, I have this class file in the c:\jakarta\webapps\root\web-inf\classes\test.  However, when I type "localhost/servlet/test.HelloWorld" in the explorer, I get the following error.

Cheers, June
