Depends upon how geeky you want it. You can try this, as it will be certainly the most definitive answer, but somewhat like beef jerky to digest:

FileUploadServlet is one that I wrote some time back and it has a web.xml file associated with it. I'm pretty sure I created it myself although I don't actually remember doing so at this point. Here are the current contents but I'm not sure if this is still how the web.xml should look at this point: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>form</servlet-name> <servlet-class>upload.UploadForm</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet> <servlet-name>servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>upload.UploadServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>uploadDir</param-name> <param-value>uploads</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>form</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/form</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> Also, does this file need to be put into Tomcat somehow so that Tomcat can see it? If so, what is the proper mechanism to do so? Or does the act of exporting to the war file do that automagically? Again, my memory is really fuzzy on this stuff and I don't remember where these techniques are described. -- Rhino Joseph M Morgan wrote: > Did you configure your servlets in your web.xml properly?
