I think you forgot the web.xml file which contains the mapping between the URL and the servlet class file. In web.xml which must be situated in WEB-INF directory, for each servlet there must be a servlet-mapping entry: <servlet> <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>subdirectory1.subdirectory2.subdirectory3.servlet1.class</ser vlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/doMyServlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
Now calling http://localhost:8080/MyWebapp/doMyServlet will start the servlet1.class. Maybe you should read some documentation about a .war file (which is a .jar), or open one of the examples delivered together with Tomcat. -----Original Message----- From: Cressatti, Dominique [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: donderdag 17 januari 2002 11:06 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: executing servlet in a jar file Hi, am trying to execute a servlet within a jar file. I gathered so far that I had to copy the jar file in ./WEB-INF/lib As an alternative I've extracted the content of that jar file an put the classes under ./WEB-INF/classes. The problem is that the servlet I want to execute is buried within several subdirectories and when extracted it looked like something like: MyWebapp/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/subdirectory3/servlet1.class Like I said I copied all the servlets under /subdirectory3 into ./WEB-INF/classes but when tried to run it manually ( http://localhost:8080/MyWebapp/servlet/servlet1) it can up with a error mentioning the above directory structure so I gathered the servlets object to move out the directory structure. I then moved all the above directory structure back (including moving back the servlets under /directory3) under ./WEB-INF/classes but when I tried to run again it just wouldn't find my servlet (resource ....is not available). So how do I run the servlet manually ((like http://localhost:8080/MyWebapp/servlet/servlet1) using the jar file or how organise my directories so my servlet work when extracted under ./WEB-INF/classes ?
