If you put your class directly in WEB-INF/classes, that indicates to me that it is not in a named package. If it is in a package, put it in the correct directory structure under 'classes'. If it's NOT in a package, I suggest you start using named packages soon-- the default package will cause problems, . It should work without the 'servlet' out of the URL. That maps to the Invoker Servlet (look in web.xml for it) which is only enabled in the example webapp. (And disabled by default elsewhere for good reason.) You're doing it right, map your Servlets in web.xml and ignore the Invoker Servlet (or disable it). Also make sure that all the <servlet> tags are together and come before all the <servlet-mapping> tags. Check the DTD for the other rules on what goes where. Everything has to be in order. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
