many thanks for both responses.

the web.xml looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                <welcome-file>HelloWorld.jsp</welcome-file>
        </welcome-file-list>
        
<servlet>

</servlet>

</filter>

 <filter-mapping>

        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>


</web-app>

i've removed references to the  deprecated class but the result is still the
same.

it would appear that the execute method is not being called as i added the
following code in there but saw nothing in the filesystem:
        try {
            BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new
FileWriter("helloWorld"));
            out.write(MESSAGE);
            out.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }

cheers,
kostis
