running a servlet

[Jason Jesso <jj...@global-matrix.com>]

Hi:

I am having trouble executing a servlet under jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18. 
 The examples web app that comes with Tomcat works fine.

I created a webapp in conf/server.xml as

<Context path="/jasonTest"
            docBase="jasonTest"
            debug="0"
            reloadable="true" >
            <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                     prefix="jasonTest" suffix=".out"
                  />
        </Context>

Under webapps/jasonTest the directory structure looks like:

neptune:root> ls -lR *
WEB-INF:
total 16
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     software       1024 Aug 01 09:52 classes
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     software        512 Aug 01 09:52 jsp

WEB-INF/classes:
total 8
-rw-r--r--   1 root     software       2102 Aug 01 09:51 
HelloWorldExample.class

WEB-INF/jsp:
total 0

images:
total 0

jsp:
total 0

servlets:
total 0
neptune:root>

In my browser I go to " 
http://neptune/jasonTest/servlet/HelloWorldExample" and get a page not 
found (404).

I am running it on port 80.  The only difference between my webapp and 
the "examples" webapp is that I have no "web.xml".

My friend has no problem on his Tomcat server with no web.xml (running 
the same version of Tomcat).  He runs servlets without web.xml just fine.

Any help would be great!

Thanks.
