First, you need to move your .class file to
webapps\extranet\WEB-INF\classes directory. Now you have two choices. You
can either reference your servlet as /servlet/ExtranetServlet or you can add
a mapping to your web.xml file (see the Servlet spec for more info,
including an example) to make the Servlet respond to any URL on your server
you want.

Subject: simple servlet setup question
Hello -
I just installed Tomcat and am trying to set up a really
simple example using a servlet to process input from an
html form, but for some reason the servlet isn't being
found. I specify which servlet the form is submitted to
in the html file with this line:
<form name="LoginExtranet" method="POST" action="ExtranetServlet">
The html file is in the jakarta-tomcat\webapps\extranet
directory, and the ExtranetServlet.class file is in the
jakarta-tomcat\webapps\extranet\classes directory, but
for some reason I get "404 file not found" instead. Any
suggestions on where I should put the servlet so that it
is seen?
Also, I have System.out.println() calls in the init() method
of the servlet. Where should this be output? to the ms-dos
command prompt window or to one of the logs? I don't see it
anywhere and init() should be invoked when tomcat is start,
correct?
Thanks so much for any help
Sean
