Hi Tim and John, Thanks very much for your help chaps. I now have my servlet working (and it's only taken me 2 days!). Curiously, the only way it worked was by doing the 'quick and dirty' method of un-commenting the servlet-mapping for invoker. Before this, with the servlet mapping added to my app's web.xml file, it still didn't work. It's evening here, so I think I'll go out and celebrate with a 'golden gallon'...
