Will, One recommendation is to switch to Tomcat 3.3 or 4.0 from www.jakarta.apache.org. The Java Web Server is no longer supported by Sun and is over 2 years old. You will find better user support and more up-to-date standards support (Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2) with Tomcat or another current servlet container (JRun, JBoss, etc.)
As far as fixing your current problem, you might try what Geeta recommended (implementing the doGet method), though I don't think that is your problem. If you do implement the doGet() method, I would suggest doing it by just putting the code from your current doPost method into a method called processRequest and then have both your doPost and doGet methods call processRequest. You should check to see if there is a servlet.properties file or some other configuration file for JWS that maps servlet classes to alias names. This file might also have a mapping for the servlet directory. You should also check for any log files that might help describe what's going on further. My best recommendation, though would be to upgrade to Tomcat. Regards, Richard At 09:13 AM 11/18/2001 -0800, you wrote: >hi, > >I created a simple servlet something similar to Hello World.
