RE: servlet deployed, but Tomcat provides .war file for download only
Actually I have the same problem. I can deploy expanded web apps no probs, but I've never been able to deploy a WAR... browser always wants to download it. Is there a TC setting that tells it to deploy WARs?

Re: servlet deployed, but Tomcat provides .war file for download only
I solved my problem: The cause is quite simple: I deleted the leading whitespace from my web.xml file. The lesson I learned: VALIDATE your xml files before using them. Here is an online checker in case you need one: http://www.stg.brown.edu/service/xmlvalid/ May the rest of the community never encounter a problem like this again.

What leading whitespace, and in what XML file?
I don't know whether this will help in your case,
but i meant the web.xml file located in the deploymant path:
{yourWebApp}/WEB-INF/web.xml
Seems like XML files are not allowed to begin with a whitespace.
Means this is wrong:
xml...
And this is right:
xml...
So far for my error

RE: servlet deployed, but Tomcat provides .war file for download only
Hi, How about starting with the simplest approach: forget the manager, forget Ant. Do a clean Tomcat installation. Copy your webapp into the webapps folder (not as a WAR file, just the unpacked directory structure). Start the server. That's it. Your web.xml looks fine. It's always a good idea to validate it using a tool like XMLSpy (there are free alternatives online as well) if you're unsure that it's valid.

Where, specifically, is the WAR file? If Tomcat's offering the file for download, then you likely have it one directory too deep. What are the contents of server.xml and, if you use it, context.xml? -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: servlet deployed, but Tomcat provides .war file for download only
OK, i did as you said. I deinstalled my tomcat, installed a new into a new folder (just to be sure). After that I copied the extracted app into the webapp folder: in my case the class file goes here (Just to document the path): C:\Program Files\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\LocasugeGSM-0.1-dev\WEB-INF\classes The browser only shows an 404 error What do I do wrong? Paths I have tried: http://localhost:8080/LocasugeGSM-0.1-dev http://localhost:8080/LocasugeGSM-0.1-dev/ http://localhost:8080/LocasugeGSM-0.1-dev/RpcServlet http://localhost:8080/LocasugeGSM-0.1-dev/servlet/RpcServlet I'd do anything to fix this.
