hello shapira - and greetings and thank to ann -, thank you for your time spent on my problem. here are more details: 1. the long line in server.xml, where i declared the context for "sygenews": charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper" cookies="true" crossContext="true" debug="0" docBase="C:\Programme\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\sygenews" mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper" path="/sygenews" privileged="false" reloadable="true" swallowOutput="false" useNaming="true" wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper"> the directory-name is sygenews, the war-file-name is sygenews.war, and i want it to place beneath "webapps"-dir in tomcat. as i told you: with localhost:8080/sygenews the index.jsp was found, but: my "/formates.css" - link didn't work - wrong font appeared. why could this be? and the next problem (as you thought): the link "/servlet/sygenews.index" (/WEB-INF/classes/sygenews/index.class) was not found - it showed: localhost:8080/servlet/sygenews.index not available. in netbeans i have a project: sygenews, there are the files in normal order: /*.jsp, /WEB-INF/classes/*.java, *.class. i right-clicked on document-root and chose: make war-file (or similar); the war-file was made. in tomcat i installed it in the manager-mask (upload a war-file to install - out of my project-dir). it installed "ok", i clicked the new link and there it was...

RE: does tomcat work without apache? ... a real beginner asks some basic!?
Howdy, Your context is all default settings: you can take the whole declaration out of server.xml and let tomcat auto-deploy your war file. The problem with your HTML links, like the one for your stylesheet, is that they're absolute: /myFile.css is from the server root. There's nothing at the server root. Change the links to have the webapp name in the beginning, e.g. /sygenews/myFile.css. You can confirm for yourself these links work by entering them into your browser: http://yourserver:yourport/myFile.css will not work (404 error) http://yourserver:yourport/sygenews/myFile.css will work. These are fairly basic concepts: you might want to go through a couple of HTML/servlet tutorials.

RE: does tomcat work without apache? ... a real beginner asks some basic!?
Howdy, I'm quickly getting tired of this. You should really read the configuration reference in the tomcat docs, especially docBase and path, and make sure you understand them. You don't need multiple Engines or Hosts, one (the default) is enough. Don't have absolute links, i.e links that start with /, in your webapp. They should all be relative, i.e start with ./ or ../. If they have to start with /, it must be / + your webapp name + /the file, i.e. /sygenews/myfile.html.
