servlet mapping request
Hello Tomcat Users.
I need your help regarding servlet mappings in our WEB-INF/web.xml file running on an Apache webserver with a Tomcat container(most recent release) on a public website. After putting our web.xml file in public\WEB-INF and asking our web host to restart Tomcat, our servlet mappings stilll do not work in our test web page.
I've searched through many books, even a Tomcat Quickstart book and they all say Tomcat has to be restarted for the servlet mappings in web.xml to work. So we requested a Tomcat restart and after this, the servlet mapping we use gives a <page not found> error. When I use /servlet/EventsServlet in <a> link, it calls the servlet and it works, but according to Tomcat documentation this is a security issue that we don't want to implement.
I'm hoping that you know what the solution(s) are and can point me in the right direction.
I'm appreciative for assist that you may provide.

I've got the example invoker servlet stuff uncommented from
conf/web.xml, and have restarted Tomcat, but am unable to get a simple
test servlet to function. The test servlet class file
(SimpleServlet.class) file is under
WEB-INF/classes/SimpleServlet.class. A simple HTML file located in the
web app's root works, so I know I've got the web app at least partially
configured right and pointed in the right directory.
When I shove the URL of my test servlet
(http://teton:8018/servlet/SimpleServlet) into my browser, I get the
Tomcat 404 error page ("The requested resource (/servlet/SimpleServlet)
is not available."). Tomcat is on an unusual port in order to
accommodate multiple instances (although only one is running right now).
I do understand that there are security issues with doing things this
way, but I'd like to see something this simple work before I press on to
other stuff.
What could be wrong?

Hello Tomcat Users:
The isp I use did it this way. I see that /servlet/* is bad. How should it
be written so that they/we will not be using the invoker? Also, do you know
of isp's who setup httpd.conf to accomodate jsps/servlets?

You are trying to use the invoker servlet. This is evil. See
http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/misc.html#invoker If you insist on doing
this you will need to enable the invoker servlet in conf/web.xml and
restart Tomcat.

Your servlets should be in packages. See the FAQ
http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/classnotfound.html If you use the invoker
(see below) I *think* you will be OK with packageless classes but I
have never tried it and don't recommend it.

Hello Tomcat Users.
I've researched Linux books for a solution and no luck on httpd.conf. So I
am guessing all I need to do is change the following in httpd.conf

On our host's website. All I did was replace /servlet/ with my desired
servlet mappings. Would this work?

Info we need to help you:
1. Exact Tomcat version. I would be extremely surprised if this really
is the most recent release (5.5.17)
2. The content of your web.xml
3. Given that you are using Apache as well, the relevant Jk directives
from your httpd.conf file
Related to point 3, can you direct your browser to Tomcat directly,
bypassing Apache? If so, does this work?

Could you post your web.xml here?
Also, mention the directory structure of WEB-INF/classes and application root.
