First thing to do is look at the log. tomcat 4 is much better at logging than version 3. If you did not change the logging entry in the server.xml the examples log file will show details about what is happening when your webapp (context as Tomcat4 calls it) is loaded.
If you simply see an entry about what is expected in a web.xml the most likely thing is that you have "servlet-mapping" entries mixed in among your servlet entries. Now all the servlet mapping must appear after all the servlet entries. The parameter icon has changed to become small or large - again look at the log for details. Another thing we noticed in Windows (if that is your platform) was that in Tomcat 3 the WEB-INF directory name could be lower case, Tomcat 4 insists that it must be upper case. hope this helps, Jon G-S > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Janarthanan, > Prasanna > Sent: 14 April 2002 14:04 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: please help me > > > > we have our web application running with tomcat 3.2.3.
