Well. I think is better to tell you how I did to make a servlet work. First of all I created a folder under "webapps" (e.g. miFirstServlet). After that I put a simple html file called index.html inside this folder.
Example of simple index.html: <html> <head><title>My first servlet</title></head> <body> <h1>This is really my first servlet!</h1> <a href=http://localhost:8080/miFirstServlet/servlet/miFirstServlet/First>Click here to see the servlet working</a> </body> </html> Explanation of the URL: /miFirstServlet : the name of the application folder /servlet : indicates that is a servlet (see down). /miFirstServlet : name of the package /First : name of the class Put First.class in webapps/WEB-INF/classes/miFirstServlet/. (make sure the name of the package of First.class is "miFirstServlet") The web.xml file is simple an is explained inside the example web.xml file that you can download at: http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/appdev/deployment.html Make sure to declare the servlet and his <servlet-class> like this: ... <servlet-class>miFirstServlet.First</servlet-class> ... This file goes here: webapps/WEB-INF/. What you are doing is putting an application on Tomcat. There are 2 ways of doing so: 1) Doing what I have just explained before. 2) Putting a .war instead of the folder webapps/miFirstServlet (e.g. miFirstServlet.war) I hope this can help you.
