You won't be able to run the .class file directly. The .class file must be put in the WEB-INF directory of Tomcat. The WEB-INF directory may be in the following path: C:\jakarta-BLAHBLAH\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF. You'll need to create a directory in the WEB-INF dir named "classes". Put your YourServlet.class file there. You'll be able to see your results by starting Tomcat and putting the following address in your browser: http://localhost:8080/servlet/YourServlet. Make sure NOT to append the .class in YourServlet ... it won't run if u do.

I think I am missing something very simple here that I may need to download..... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/16/02 06:32pm >>> What you should do is find the file servlet.jar and copy it to the c:\jdk1.3.1\jre\lib\ext directory. That should solve the problem.
