You have to put the WAR in the webapps directory of tomcat. Or, you can copy the entire directory tree of your app to the webapps directory. Or you can use the tomcat webapp manager. Or you can add a <Context> to the server.xml file pointing to your own directory.

Details: System: Win95 Tomcat Version: 4.0 Problem: I created a new directory in called "kp" "install_dir/webapps" folder. I also created WEB-INF and classes dirctories (install_dir/webapps/kp/WEB-INF/classes). I wrote a small servlet program and kept the .class file in classes folder. I also wrote the xml file and kept it in WEB-INF folder. xml file------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_2.dtd";> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>hello</servlet-name> <servlet-class>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>hello</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> end of xml file--------------------------- when i'm trying to access from browser like this http://localhost/kp/hello OR http://localhost/kp/HelloWorldServlet the browser is displaying the file not found page. (i changed the port no. to 80 in server.xml file) (i also inserted <DefaultContext reloadable="true"/> in server.xml) What am i missing here? And wat really beats me is i downloaded a bookstore example from java.sun.com in .war format. When i placed it in the reqd folder the folders WEB-INF, classes etc were automatically created (install_dir/webapps/bookstore/WEB-INF/classes) and it is working fine. Now I tried moving my HelloWorldServlet.class file into classes folder of bookstore and made necessay changes to xml file of bookstore in install_dir/webapps/bookstore/WEB-INF/web.xml and i'm able to run the helloworld servlet using http://localhost/bookstore/hello I'm also able to run the servlet when i put the class file in install_dir/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes and using http://localhost/servlet/hello. Why am i not able to run when the file are in the folder i created. Kindly help me with this problem. If this prob has been addressed before kindly provide pointers Thank you kp _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
