Tomcat will not serve any files in WEB-INF or below that directly to a user, so that's probably why it's not in the dir listing.

If so, look for a servlet mapping in the descriptor. It will look something like this: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/HelloWorld</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> "HelloWorldServlet" being the name of your servlet and and "HelloWorld" being the mapping. If so, you can access your servlet with the following URL: http://localhost:8080/YOUR_APP_NAME/HelloWorld Second: If you create your own directory under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, you will need to create a sub-directory called WEB-INF in order for Tomcat to autoDeploy it as an application.
