apologies for he late reply but I wanted to ask if the servlet-name and
servlet-mapping
and welcome-file-list from web.xml for entry jspbook have been entered
here is an example that may help (sub in jspbook)
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jspbook</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>package.jspbook</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-value>jspbook.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jspbook</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/jspbook</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Does this help?

Subject: Tomcat5 on Mac OS X, problem with book or installation?
I am using tomcat5 5.5.20, Revision 3, java/tomcat5 from MacPorts.
I am following the instructions for the Addison Wesley book: "Servlets and
JavaServer Pages: The J2EE Web Tier" from the first chapter.
The first chapter may be found here: http://www.jspbook.com/jspbook-01.pdf
I am on the part where the author is creating the jspbook directory and is
placing a web.xml file in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/jspbook/WEB-INF
directory, and a jspbook.xml file in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory.
I cannot get the webapps/jspbook directory to be recognized by my Tomcat
setup no matter what I do, after following these steps and continuous
restarting of the server. I am assuming that it is ok to forgo the editing
of the server.xml file like the book says.
This is the error I receive after retrieving http://localhost:8080 -
HTTP Status 404 - /jspbook/
