I suggest that you check out the Application Developer's Guide at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html
Your problem stems from the fact that the majority of text books assume the servlet invoker is switched on, but the servlet invoker is evil so in recent versions of Tomcat it is switched off by default. :) This means you must map your servlets in your web.xml file, see the FAQ for more details: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#invoker Regards, -- Jason Bainbridge http://jblinux.org On Tue, 24 Jun 2003 00:56, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Environment: > Windows XP, Tomcat 4.1.24, Sun JVM 1.4.1_02-b06 > > I managed to fix my problem running JSPs in an application directory I > created.
