I think the problem is in <servlet-mapping> of your web.xml. Just comment it out, it should work.

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]>
