Test servlet won't run - help?

[Mark]

Hi, 

I'm trying to run a simple Hello world servlet called myAppServlet.  I'm using Windows 
XP, Tomcat 4.1, and j2sdk 1.4.1.  The servlet WILL run when I put it in 
webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes.  I can run it with the browser address, 
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/myAppServlet

However, the servlet will not run when I locate it in webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/classes.  
When I try to run it with the browser address, 
http://localhost:8080/myApp/servlet/myAppServlet, I get the HTTP Status 404 error 
message.

I put the following web.xml file into the webapps/myApp/WEB-INF folder, which didn't 
have any effect:

http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>


  
myAppServlet
myAppServlet
  
  
myAppServlet
/myAppServlet
  


I also stopped and started the computer to make sure that Tomcat was stopped and 
started again.


It seems as though Tomcat is not seeing my myApp application.  Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Try it from http://localhost:8080/myApp/myAppServlet

That might work -- your URL-mapping doesn't say to look for 
servlet/myAppServlet.

Do you have a Context defined in server.xml for /myApp?  Check server.xml
for /examples to see what one looks like.  Or, check the docs for Context,
there is a way to auto-deploy Contexts so you don't have to edit server.xml
directly.

As a side note.  

The reason it may have originally worked in the examples webapp is that the
default servlet mapping is explicitly defined.  For all other web apps it is
disabled.

If you place 


invoker
/servlet/*


in the web.xml file you should not need to include servlet in every mapping
