aah: Where to start ;-)
{list users feel free to correct ...
1. server.xml
You need to configure your web application in the server xml. This is in
an element <Context /> which defines where your application resides, and
optionally any resources your web app uses.
2. web.xml
You need to map your web application to it's implementation. It's not
enough to just state your web descriptor {Like your post shows}, you
will also need something like
<!-- Map requests to servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ServletName</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
after ALL the <servlet /> definitions.
3. The implementation: You will need to compile your servlet and place
the implementation classes under your web app directory ... {which it
seems you did correctly }
something like
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/yourwebapp/WEB-INF/classes
This all said, there are a lot of different ways of doing the above,
packaging everything in a WAR file comes to mind.
You would probably need to do quite a bit of reading up on it first,
it's not the easiest of things to come to grips with: The learning curve
is quite steep, but well worth it.
Hope this helps somewhat, good luck!
