You need to put your .class file in examples>WEB-INF>classes directory. You can access it using the url http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloWorld (I assume you haven't changed the port of tomcat). If you want to access the servlet using http://localhost/examples/HelloWorld, you need to do the following 1. change the port of tomat to 80 from 8080 in $Tomcat_home/conf/server.xml 2. define the HelloWorld servlet in examples/WEB-INF/web.xml . <web-app> . . . <servlet> <servlet-name> helloworld </servlet-name> <servlet-class> HelloWorld </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> helloworld </servlet-name> <url-pattern> /HelloWorld/* </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> . . . </web-app>

But I can't run servlet. For example, I wrote a simple servlet "HelloWorld.java" which prints "hello world" in brower, then put the "HelloWorld.class" file in Tomcat's "examples" directory. But when I visit it by http://localhost/examples/HelloWorld, Tomcat gives me an error message "The requested resource (/HelloWorld) is not available." However, jsp files could be executed properly. Does anyone know how to run my servlet? > > Thanks a lot! > > Sincerely > Ying > ��������������������������������������������������������Ӣ�칻 �&��ǧu�sS[h- +-����6�k�.Y�(T��Sw%�עz�^n?r��azg��� �� z?�HDU,D� ��DD"��+r �z�������r �z��j�����r?�j�!S���ǫ�W��)�z����msT^�<�q��?�i���j���� �r?��� ��l�ǫ�W���mz��-�<�q��?٥,""HDU �i� m���� �-� ��(>�sz楳��z����?٥ ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
