Simple web.xml causes URL not to work

I am using Tomcat 4.0.2 standalone on Win2k Prof.

I have just a JSP file in my context
in webapps\Book\MySend.jsp

Without any web.xml, the URL
 http://localhost/Book/MySend.jsp
yields the page correctly.

But when I insert a web.xml under
webapps\Book\WEB-INF with the following content,
Tomcat cannot find the same URL (http://localhost/Book/MySend.jsp).

<web-app>
  <context-param>
     <param-name>hostname
     </param-name>
     <param-value>felicity
     </param-value>
  </context-param>
</web-app>

I have gone thru 2.3 servlet spec and the
web.xml as shown above seems legal. what
am I doing wrong.
