It may have been my mail server - I'm having lots of problems with newsgroup
submissions
I recently ended up submitting the same request twice because my mail
server reported a "Couldn't deliver" message
when it actually did.
bummer.
glad you got it working on your own! The port # hasn't got anything
to do with the servlet spec. It's to do with the
configured port number of your container. Normally a web-server is
listening on port 80, and your browser will,
by default actually translate http:localhost/... to http:/localhost:80.
Of course it doesn't /actually/ change the request, just tries to talk to a server on that port.
You can change that behavior by altering port parameter of the HttpConnectionHandler
Connector
in server.xml e.g. in the following example I've changed it to 80.
<!-- Normal HTTP -->
<Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
<Parameter name="handler"
value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/>
<Parameter name="port"
value="80"/>
</Connector>
Now, provided that you haven't got a web server (e.g. Apache, IIS, Personal
Webserver whatever) listening on that
port, you can now just use your original URL to get to the web-container.

p.s. If you have for a web server, then you'll get a 'port already in use' error or somesuch.

Hello again from Super Newbie...--I (finally) got Tomcat installed on my Win98 machine:
1. I have Tomcat started.
2. I have my CLASSPATH set to include servlet.jar and jasper.jar
3. I have a compiled class called MyFirstServlet.class in
c:/jsp/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/INF-WEB/classes
(This is just a typical "Hello World" file)
4. In my browser I have entered http://localhost/servlet/MyFirstServlet
5. I get a response saying "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" (standard
unavailable script).Anyone know why??? I also tried replacing the "/servlet" with the full
path, but to no avail. HELP!!!!!Joel
