In order that it will work the d:/xx/yy/zz/webpages/ directory should be in
the classpath variable before running Tomcat,
so Tomcat can find your servlet.
Another way, and actually the standard one, is to create WEB-INF/classes
directory under d:/xx/yy/zz/webpages/
and put there your servlets. This directory is automatically added to the
classpath of Tomcat, and you do not
need to add anything.
You can look at the webapps directory that comes with Tomcat installation,
the servlets examples are in this
exact structure.
