error with tomcat HTTP Status 404 The requested resource() is not available

[Tomas Rodriguez <ad...@yahoo.ca>]

Ok thanks a lot Charles, jus I followed your advise, I created all 
directory(WEB-INF
/lib, web-inf/classes) under my folder d:/examplestomcat, and I created too 
the file tomas.xml at the directory 
c:\tomcay6.0\conf\Catalina\localhost\tomas.xml
 with the <Context docBase="d:/examplestomcat">, I executed the IE and the 
via URL I wrote http://127.0.0.1:8080/tomas, but at the end I can see 
anything, just show me an error.

the error is:

HTTP Status 404 - /tomas/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /tomas/

description The requested resource (/tomas/) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/6.0.18
--------------------------------------------------


I reboot the tomcat services, but I can't get any good result, well I don't 
know what should I do with the web.xml. I just copied the orginal web.xml 
from tomcat directory to d:/examplestomcat/web.xml, I didn't change anything 
in this file.
and I copied as well the mysql/J connect from tomcat/lib to my 
d:/examplestomcat/WEB-INF\lib
I sorry for bother you, but I need to finish with this configuration.
thanks so much
have a great day
sincerely
TOMAS

I hope that was tomcat6.0, not tomcay6.0.

> <Context docBase="d:/examplestomcat">

You're missing the closing slash; the above should be:
<Context docBase="d:/examplestomcat"/>

Did you put a welcome file in D:\examplestomcat?  If not, you should get a 404.

> The requested resource (/tomas/) is not available.

What's in the Tomcat logs?  Did you get any errors trying to deploy the webapp?

> I don't know what should I do with the web.xml.

Read the servlet spec, and build a web.xml appropriate for your webapp.

> I just copied the orginal web.xml from tomcat directory 

What Tomcat directory?  There are numerous web.xml files distributed with Tomcat.  Regardless, copying any existing web.xml is almost always wrong.

> to d:/examplestomcat/web.xml

That's not where web.xml belongs, even if you had an appropriate one.  Read the servlet spec.  Also read this:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html
