Sanjay, The servlet-mapping is a tag that allows you to map a specified pattern to the specified servlet. Don't get me started on the pattern syntax I still haven't taken the time to fully comprehend it. So basically what we told the server was that anytime it sees the pattern "/hello/" in the context of this app send it to the HelloWorld servlet. The <anything> means anything you want to type after the "/hello/" since we told it to match on the "/hello/". Lance

What does servlet-mapping mean- is it directory structure or an alias to a servlet.I was trying to use /hello as an alias for the HelloWorld servlet and try calling it by /hello or by full URL /hello- am I completely off on this. and what is this <anything>? Thanks again <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/hello/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Then you should be able to call it like: http://localhost:8080/search/hello/<anything> --- Lance Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In you're web.xml change: > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> > > to : > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/hello/*</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> > > Then you should be able to call it like: > http://localhost:8080/search/hello/<anything> > > Hope this helps > Lance > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sanjay Bahal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 8:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Servlet Deploy Problem Help > > > I am just restarting this thread.
