Hi All, I would really appreciate some help this... I am on an NT box with Tomcat 4.1.12. My problem is that I am having trouble deploying servlets in Tomcat. Worse, I seem to go through this each time I upgrade to a new version of Tomcat. Friday night I upgraded to version 4.1.12. Each time I upgrade I have problems getting simple servlets to execute - after a couple of hours of monkeying around my servlets suddenly ststart working. I think I'm repeating the same steps over and over so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong and what I did right to make things work. Which is frustrating because it means I'm not learning from the process. Please note, I can get the Tomcat servlet examples to execute so I'm pretty confident I have a good installation. If I copy one of the examples, say "HelloWorldExample" to one of my directories it no longer works.
Here are the steps I am following to deploy a simple "Hello World" servlet:: 1) In webapps I create a directory named "hello". 2) In "hello" I create the "WEB-INF" directory. 3) Inside the "WEB-INF" directory I place "web.xml". (I'm not sure I need to do this...) 4) I also add "classes" and "lib" directories under "WEB-INF". 5) Under classes I create a directory name "hello". 6) In "hello" I place the my servlet "hello.HelloMike.class". The name of the servlet is "HelloMike" and it resides in package "hello". 7) I start Tomcat and attempt to browse to the servlet with the following url "http://localhost:8080/hello/servlet/hello.HelloMike"; 8) The browser returns the following: HTTP Status 404 - /hello/servlet/hello.HelloMike *type* Status report *message* _/hello/servlet/hello.HelloMike_ *description* _The requested resource (/hello/servlet/hello.HelloMike) is not available._ Apache Tomcat/4.1.12 I'm really mystifyied as to what I am doing wrong and would greatly appreciate all insights and suggestions offerred.
