This is because the invoker servlet is disabled by default in 4.1.12. The invoker servlet used to handle all requests starting with "/servlet". It has some security concerns, and it's now recommended not to rely on it. > > If I change web.xml file to add the following: <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>Example</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> > > my servlet (ExampleServlet.clas) is called without my HTML > file be executed. This is because now you have your servlet set up to handle *all* requests--including the request for your HTML file. Try this: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Example</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/Example</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Then everything should work as expected. -- 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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
