Here is what you need to do to have your own folders. Let's say you want to create a folder 'abraham'. Open up Win Explorer create 'abraham' under c:\tomcat\webapps
Remember all new app directories you create should go under c:\tomcat\webapps ( not 100 % sure :) but will get you going ! ) Change to the new directory abraham 1. Under abraham , create WEB-INF 2. Under WEB-INF create another directory classes So now you have C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF and C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF\classes Copy web.xml available at C:\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF to C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF Copy your static HTML pages, GIFs etc to C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham Your Servlet classes goes to C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF\classes Now to the most important step.. I assume by now you know the significance of SERVER.XML in Tomcat. If not read about it in documentation . This file is available at c:\tomcat\conf. Make a copy of this file before you edit it. Inside this file there will be a 'Context' tag. as shown below <Context path="/examples" docBase="webapps/examples" crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true" /> Make a copy of this line and on the copy change it to <Context path="/abraham" docBase="webapps/abraham" crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true" /> Save the file and stop and restart tomcat When you access the Servlet the URL should be http://localhost:8080/abraham/servlet/Serv01 When you redirect to another servlet from Serv01 response.sendRedirect("/abraham/servlet/Serv02") To another static HTML Page response.sendRedirect("/abraham/test01.html"); You could have other subdirectories under 'abraham' let's say 'images' if you want to access a gif from this directory, you should code it as <IMG SRC='/abraham/images/pic01.gif'> Good Luck ! ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
