servlet confusion...
I have from from JServ over to tomcat this afternoon.
First, I really enjoyed the installation process, having suffered
through JServ+gnujsp installations.
One thing has me quite confused however -- all of the example servlets
with tomcat are embedded in HTML files. I am used to seeing servlets
in .class files. Is this no longer supported? I copied a
blah.{java,class} file into the example servlets dir and it just
treats it like a generic file.
Do I need to wrap all my servlets in container/launcher HTML files
like the examples are?
Thanks.

The 3.1 has a bug where it doesn't load JARs out of the lib directory,
by the way. There is a source patch in the bug database, or you can
just use the .class files instead.

I believe the URL you have to use is <web-app>/servlet/<servlet-name>/.
So if you put your test servlet under the "examples" directory, you
would have to use ".../examples/servlet/IsItWorking/".

You also need to update the web.xml file under the
examples/WEB-INF directory in order to access this servlet.
Adding code like this should do the trick...
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
IsItWorking
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
IsItWorking
</servlet-class>
</servlet>

Okay, so I took the IsItWorking.java example from the JServ dist,
compiled it against the tomcat libs (i.e. servlet.jar), and copied the
.java and .class files into WEB-INF/classes.
All other configuration is the same, canned, tomcat-apache defaults:
My question is, how do I run the IsItWorking servlet?
I tried various URL's and always got a file not found.
I am currently reading the 2.2 spec to see if there is something
specific I need to change in the web.xml.
Any other tips are much appreciated!
Thanks.

tomcat & JServ config
Posted by Brad K <ko...@aa.net>.
I am trying to setup tomcat under Apache 1.3 and am getting a little lost on
the configuration. I have JServ running currently. Does this replace JServ?
Can someone orient me on this.
thanks

This was done only to let you look at the source code -- servlets must be
Java class files, or packaged in a JAR file, to be executed.

No.
Put your servlet classes in the WEB-INF/classes directory (or in a JAR file
in the WEB-INF/lib directory) of your web application. These places are
automatically added to the class path for your app -- no additional
manipulation of the class path is required. Set up the web application
deployment descriptor (WEB-INF/web.xml) as described in the Servlet 2.2
specification.

Put your servlet classes in the WEB-INF/classes directory (or in a JAR file
in the WEB-INF/lib directory) of your web application. These places are
automatically added to the class path for your app -- no additional
