The "docBase" is the root of your web application, where there will be a WEB-INF
subdirectory.

Right, because you're specifying the docBase as "/webapps" so of course it will look
for files in C:/webapps =)

It knows because the web.xml knows to look for class files in WEB-INF/lib and
WEB-INF/classes. You should place your servlet class in WEB-INF/classes under your
docBase.

As far as I know "~localhost" isn't the same as "localhost". This will definitely be
a problem. It is on my Win2k machine.
Have you read anything about servlets and web applications yet? Head to
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html and click on the appropriate documentation
bundle for whatever version of Tomcat you're using.
