newbie tomcat-4.1.24 deployment

["Dean A. Hoover" <dh...@rochester.rr.com>]

I'm attempting to set up a web development environment. In
order to get some understanding of what I need to do, I grabbed
a copy of the HelloWorldExample servlet that comes packaged
with tomcat. I set up a directory structure with build.xml, web.xml,
HelloWorldExample.java. If I run "ant deploy", the servlet is
compiled, a war file is built, and it is "deployed" to tomcat.

When I run tomcat manager, it shows up. I see the directory
in webapps. I try to hit the servlet using:
http://localhost:8080/apress/servlet/HelloWorldExample

from which I get HTTP Status 404. I'm guessing I am missing
something simple. I tried to follow what the tomcat example
was doing in its original place (examples application), but I
didn't quite make it. I am attaching my simple directory structure
containing the files build.xml, web.xml, and
HelloWorldExample.java, if anyone can help.

Thanks.

solved by adding to web.xml:

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
