This is fine for testing purposes, but you really should not use the invoker servlet. Instead, it's easy to enable your servlet in your own webapp's web.xml: <servlet> <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name> <servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/HelloServlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> > I've enabled the servlet reloading in .../install_dir/conf/context.xml. You should probably not be modifying CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml. Instead, create a file in webapps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml and put your configuration there. Remember not to set the "docBase" or "path" attributes in your <Context> element. > However, I can't see the servlet in http://myhost:8008/servlet/HelloServlet. > > What am I missing? I suspect you have a package/class name mismatch with your .class file and the URL you're using to access the servlet. Disable the invoker servlet, write a proper web.xml file, and post your code. That will help a lot. - -chris Chris, I'm using an earlier version, but I'm also following www.coreservlets.com to make note of updates. However, I've updated the web.xml per your suggestion and it worked like a charm. Thanks for your help, Sashi
