Hi Tim, I use the following URL: http://localhost:8080/greeting/index.html
this page gets served correctly. The response URL (if this is the correct term) is: http://localhost:8080/greeting/servlet/GreetingServlet Regards Andy Wickson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 6:27 PM Subject: RE: Beginner's config problem with TomCat 4.1.12 on Win2K What URL are you trying to load? If it's something like http://server/myDir/servlet/myClass, then that won't work in an out-of-the-box Tomcat 4.1.12. The servlet that handles requests with /servlet in the path (called the "invoker" servlet) is disabled by default due to potential security issues. You'll need to map your servlet to a URL. For example, add this to your web.xml: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>myClass</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/myClass</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> And then go to http://server/myDir/myClass Assuming that your servlet is declared correctly in web.xml and is named "myClass" this should work. -- Tim Moore / Blackboard Inc. / Software Engineer 1899 L Street, NW / 5th Floor / Washington, DC 20036 Phone 202-463-4860 ext. 258 / Fax 202-463-4863 > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Wickson [mailto:andy@;awtech.co.uk] > Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 1:17 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Beginner's config problem with TomCat 4.1.12 on Win2K > > > Hi, > > Thanks for the quick response. > I tried putting the following code into server.xml and > re-started TomCat: > > <Context path="/myDirectory" docBase="myDirectory" debug="0" > reloadable="true" crossContext="true"/> > > but I still get the same thing (Http Status 404). > > To re-iterate, I have the following code set up: > > %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\myDir\index.html > %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\myDir\WEB-INF\classes\myClass.class > %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\myDir\WEB-INF\web.xml > > The html file is served correctly when viewed from a browser. > The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is set correctly. > > With reference to the docs they seem to give a mixed message. > > The link you gave me about Auto Deploy leads to 'The Host > Container' page .
