Configuring my own servlets on Tomcat4.0

["Sampige, Srinivas" <sr...@boeing.com>]

Hi
 I downloaded Tomcat4.0 just now and insalled it. I am able to run the
example servlets. When I try to create my own servlets OR whehn I try to
deploy and run those web apps that were working on the older version
(Tomcat3.2) the new servlets don't run. Any clues? I looked at the
documentation but could not find anything.

thanks
-Srinivas

I've also just installed Tomcat 4. I had a bit of 
trouble at first, but got my servlets working in
the examples directory. Then I moved them to my own
application directory.

Things to look for:
1. I put a "package" statement in each servlet. e.g.
   "mywebapp". Make a subdirectory called mywebapp
   on the classes directory for your web application.
2. Set up the web.xml file for the application with
   entries for each servlet. Since they are in
   packages (e.g. package mywebapp;) then they
   will be known as mywebapp.MyServlet (for class
   from MyServlet.java).

   The web.xml file needs lines like these for each
   servlet (replace [ ] with lt and gt brackets):

   [servlet]
     [servlet-name]MyServlet[/servlet-name]
     [servlet-class]mywebapp.MyServlet[/servlet-class]
   [/servlet]

   This then hides the mywebapp subdirectory when the
   servlet is called, and the URL will be

   http://localhost:8080/app_dir/servletMyServlet

This should work!

Don't know if your problem is same as what happened to me, but you may 
want to try this:
Copy your application files into the examples directory. You may need to 
edit the web.xml file accordingly (maybe just for one servlet initially).
See if the servlet is found...If this works then just rename the 
examples directory to whatever and voila....

I'll be surprised if this works, but it did the trick for me..very wierd 
stuff though.... :-)
