You need to read the tomcat docs which tell how to configure a web application. You need to create a web.xml file as well as need to register the webapp in some webapp.xml.

I created/compiled my servlet, SampleServlet, put it in a dir tomcat/webapps/pr/ made a war file pr.war (by doing jar cvf pr.war pr/ from the webapps dir) and let the war file in the webapps dir. I restarted tomcat and it said 2002-08-13 12:31:21 - ContextManager: Adding DEFAULT:/pr so i ran my page which calls the servlet and when it tried to run the servlet i got this from tomcat: 2002-08-13 12:40:23 - Ctx(/pr) : Status code:404 request:R( /pr + /SampleServlet + null) msg:null i dont have all the directory's (images jsp META-INF servlets WEB-INF) like their examples dir has, my pr directory only has the SampleServlet.class and SampleServlet.java in it.. what am I doing wrong? do i have to have the meta-inf & all those dirs in there too? of so, how do i do that and why do ihave to do that?
