This problem is new with 4.1.12. For security reasons the invoker servlet had been disabled in the "global" /conf/web.xml file. This invoker servlet usually loads user servlets that are not mapped correctly as far as i understand. This is done by using a default mapping "/servlet/*". In productive systems this should not be done, instead correct mapping is required.
In the /examples webapp the invoker servlet had been enabled again with the local web.xml. That's why it's working in examples and not in study. Because in your study web.xml you won't have it enabled manually and thus the default from /conf/web.xml ist used where this feature is disabled. Thus the mapping /servlet/... to servlets is just Tomcat specifically done via the invoker servlet which is now (4.1.12+) disabled by default. But actually you should not need /servlet/ at all, if your mapping is correct. Try http://localhost:8080/study/com.wrox.projsp.ch03.Testservlet or make a shorter mapping to "/study/Testservlet" in your web.xml mech > -----Original Message----- > From: Curley, Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Donnerstag, 28.
