OK. The web.xml entries should probably be something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>just-a-little-test</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>firstpack.JustAlittleTest</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>just-a-little-test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/some/useful/mapping</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and the form action should be "/some/useful/mapping".
I changed the names so they weren't all JustAlittleTest ;)
As to the logs, I assumed there would be stacktraces in the logs for
ClassNotFound/NoClassDefFound exceptions if the mapping was not valid.

I made the servlet part of a package but I'm getting a Servlet not Found
Exception. The actions I took to make the servlet part of a package are
the following:
1 added package line to java code, recompiled
2 placed new class file in new subdirectory of WEB-INF/classes folder
with same name of package
3 changed entry in web.xml file to reflect package that servlet is in
for the url-pattern
4 changed JSP so that the forms action="firstpack.JustALittleTest"
I've looked at the log files but I'm not sure what to look for.

I would check in tomcat logs directory for reasons why the servlet is
not available. One reason could be that classes should be in a package:

OK I did that and now my system is hanging which I guess could be an
error in my code or something with the server. I think it is my code
so I'll look that over. Thanks for your help. Sorry for the
confusion.

Did you reload the webapp after making the change? All changes to
WEB-INF/web.xml or files in WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib will
require a reload before they become active in tomcat.

I was able to refer to a book I have and so I dropped the .class
extensions altogether. I get an error that requested resource is not
available still. Any suggestions on this? My web.xml file has this
entry:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>JustALittleTest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>JustAlittleTest</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JustALittleTest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/JustALittleTest</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
And my action attribute="JustALittleTest".

Subject: Accessing a servlet
Well I'm ticking these newbie questions off. I have a simple servlet
that I want my form to access. I compiled the file fine and it is
called JustALittleTest.class. I placed this file in the
ROOT/WEB-INF/classes folder. In my JSP I have a form with some
submit buttons. The action element of the form is set to
="JustALittleTest".
I changed my web.xml file so it now has the following entries:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>JustALittleTest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>JustAlittleTest.class</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JustALittleTest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/JustALittleTest.class</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I've tried a few changes to the above entries but I haven't gotten it
right yet. Should the servlet-class value have a .class extension?
Is
my url pattern accessing the correct folder?
