Servlets from public_html?

I'm having trouble finding information on this...so 
here's a last stab. I've got everything set up to host 
files out of my ~jblanco/public_html.  However, when I 
put a Web application in my public_html/ I can't 
access the Servlet.  I can access HTML just fine but I 
can't access my servlets.  The same structure in 
Tomncat's webapps works just fine, so I know the 
structure is right.

Can anyone help?  Let me know what info you might be 
looking for...this is terribly frusterating.

Dir structure?  Error message?  URL that you're trying to use?

Remember that the Invoker servlet is disabled by default, if you've just 
dumped your servlet into a directory and expect to call it by its name, 
it won't work.  You have to map it in your web.xml file, as enabling the 
Invoker is a security risk.

I'm no developer, but if my memory is correct, your dir structure should 
be something like this:

~jblanco/public_html/myApp
~jblanco/public_html/myApp/WEB-INF
~jblanco/public_html/myApp/WEB-INF/web.xml
~jblanco/public_html/myApp/WEB-INF/lib
~jblanco/public_html/myApp/WEB-INF/classes
~jblanco/public_html/myApp/WEB-INF/classes/yourServlet

Then in web.xml:

<servlet>
     <servlet-name>yourServlet</servlet-name>
     <display-name>yourServlet</display-name>
     <servlet-class>classes.yourServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>yourServlet</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/yourServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Then you would call it like:

http://www.your-host.com/myApp/yourServlet
