Thank you very much for your suggestions and help.
I created a simple test servlet and added:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
to the web.xml and was able to call the servlet with
localhost:8080/directoryname/servlet/servletname
I've been following a book which suggesting that I
just add the following to the web.xml for the servlet:
(assume directory structure:
webapps\directoryname\WEB-INF\classes\Something
webapps\directoryname\WEB-INF\web.xml )
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Something</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Something</servlet-class>
</servlet>
and then suggested that I could access the class
through the following:
http://localhost:8080/directoryname/servlet/Something
but this didn't work for me until I added the servlet
mapping above. so is the book wrong and I should
always add a mapping or am I missing something else?
thanks again.
