Ok I understand it, but what I cannot understand is how can I configure Tomcat to go and look at the files in : tomcat\webapp\MYPROJECTDIRECTORY\WEB-INF\class\MYPROJECTCLASSNAME.
Is it done automatically? Do I have to change anything in the server.xml file? Do I have to change anything in the web.xml file etc?
And the how do I access it? Do I have to type the full name, e.g http://127.0.0.1/myServlets/WEb-INF/class/Test or I can just access it using http://127.0.0.1/myServlets/Test. Is it the same for Html and .jsp files?
Could you please be more specific?
