Hi All,
Using Tomcat 4.1.12 on Win 2K
I am getting a 404 error when I try to create a new webapp and add a very basic servlet. The servlet works if I create the package structure within the examples WEB-INF/classes. Here are the steps:
1. created webapps/study
2. created .../study/WEB-INF/classes/com/wrox/projsp/ch03/TestServlet.java and compiled [ok]
3. added the following line to server.xml after the examples
4. just copied the examples web.xml to study/WEB-INF and added the following lines
TestServlet
com.wrox.projsp.ch03.TestServlet
TestServlet
/TestServlet
5. restart tomcat
RESULT - The requested resource (/study/servlet/TestServlet) is not available.
Can anyone see what I am missing ?
thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas, i see this all the time on this ml. i don't know what folks'
fascination is w/ server.xml and a basic application. yes, this is working 4
u because web.xml is already defined for the webapp "/examples". look closer
at how the tc folks do it, namely, using the ant build and allowing tc to do
its job by creating a .war/.jar combo and letting the tc server (when
bounced, autoreload or using the webapp "/manager") expand the .war into its
very own: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps//WEB-INF/web.xml
and
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps//classes//So
meServletUbuild.class. pls allow me recommend u look into ant and build.xml.
it's worth the trouble if u r serious about tc learning and dev. trying to
build anything structured by hand is not recommended. even seasoned vets
don't do this because they r the ones that invented this stuff. using ide's
r ok (especially when employers require ide use) but i use 3 or 4 tc tools
to develop anything i want w/ ease because the chore of structured
compilation and deployment is pretty much automatic. hope this help, david.
