Getting Started
Hello group,
I am moving from the C,C++ and Java world into JSP/Servlets. I have
chosen Tomcat to start learning with. After reading through the docs
and following examples in a book, I am unable to get one servlet
installed : (
I am running tomcat-4.1.24-LE-jdk14 under Linux. Tomcat is running
fine. Under CATALINA_HOME, if I put a simple Hello servlet
under CATALINA_HOME/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes and then run it
from http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/Hello It works as expected
and spits out "Hello, Jim". If I move the servlet to
CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes and run it as
http://localhost:8080/servlet/Hello I get a 404. So I then tried to
make a new directory under CATALINA_HOME/webapps (the same level as
the examples directory) named dri and copied the working Hello servlet
from examples/servlet/Hello.class to dri/servlet/Hello, copied the
web.xml file from examples and changed just a few settings. I then
restarted the server and the Hello servlet at
http://39px901:8080/dri/servlet/Hello gives me a 404. What am I doing
wrong and what section of docs did I skip that explain how to simply
copy a servlet and get it running?
Any help would be great,
Jim Drabb

Jim,
Go to www.moreservlets.com and read the sample chapter 5 on web.xml.
This will explain how to map urls onto your servlets. Understanding web.xml
now will help you out immensely as you get more experienced.
