thank you for your time spent on my problem.
here are more details:
1. the long line in server.xml, where i declared the context for "sygenews":
<Context className="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext" cachingAllowed="true"
charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper" cookies="true"
crossContext="true" debug="0"
docBase="C:\Programme\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\sygenews" mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper"
path="/sygenews" privileged="false" reloadable="true" swallowOutput="false"
useNaming="true" wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper">
</Context>
the directory-name is sygenews, the war-file-name is sygenews.war, and i want it to place beneath "webapps"-dir in tomcat.
as i told you: with localhost:8080/sygenews the index.jsp was found, but: my "/formates.css" - link didn't work - wrong font appeared.
why could this be?
and the next problem (as you thought): the link "/servlet/sygenews.index" (/WEB-INF/classes/sygenews/index.class) was not found - it showed: localhost:8080/servlet/sygenews.index not available.
in netbeans i have a project: sygenews, there are the files in normal order: /*.jsp, /WEB-INF/classes/*.java, *.class. i right-clicked on document-root and chose: make war-file (or similar); the war-file was made.
in tomcat i installed it in the manager-mask (upload a war-file to install - out of my project-dir).
it installed "ok", i clicked the new link and there it was... (as i described above).
in netbeans it worked - i copied already the server.xml-file from netbeans to tomcat, but the result was the same.
now to the path-question:
i coded every link as "/...". i want to be sure, that the searching should begin on top to find everything (out of sub-dirs). is this so wrong? isn't it un-sure where i will go, if i write "../..."?
and - sorry for repeating - in nb it works.
must i declare a special connector? what is the right mapping of servlets in my web.xml? is this one ok: ... <servlet-class>sygenews.news</servlet-class> ... <url-pattern>/servlet/sygenews.news</url-pattern>
so did i in my project-web.xml (but somehow blind, by hand...).
bye hans

Howdy,
i downloaded the lastes tomcat-version (for windows xp!), installed it
right as the installer did. called once "localhost" and i got the
greeting-screen from tomcat (meant: installation was ok!).
Good.
but then the problems began. how to get my site into tomcat. all the
ways i tried failed. there was always the same problem: the
/<mywar>/index.jsp was found, but the other files weren't: instead of
/<mywar>/<anydir>/<anyjsp>.jsp it looked for in /<anyjst>.jsp!! so with
the servlets: i coded "/<mywar>/servlet/<anyservlet>" and it looked for
</servlet/<anyservlet>.
If you have a war file, simply copy it into tomcat's webapps directory. Links in your servlets, JSPs, HTML pages should be appropriately relative. Give us an example of a link that doesn't work: I bet it's a link to /servlet/myservlet as opposed to /mywar/servlet/myservlet or better yet ../servlet/myservlet.
You should map all your servlets in web.xml.
questions: can i use tomcat "just right out of the box" or is this afas
too privimitive way to use this heavy program?
Yes, you can use it right out of the box: it's designed for that.
must i install apache as well or is tomcat sufficient?
You don't need Apache at this point: tomcat by itself is fine.
where should i look for a solution for my (for me: heavy) problem??
This is the place.
