AFAIK, Tomcat will not automatically compile your Servlets. So, first thing, compile your HelloWorld.java file into HelloWorld.class. Your previous comments indicate that you know how to do that. If not, post the commands you're typing and the exact error message you're getting, and someone will help. Even when you get that done, the URL you intend to use will NOT work. URLs with /servlet in them generally depend on the Invoker Servlet being enabled. The Invoker Servlet is disabled by default. So drop the /servlet part of the URL, and edit web.xml to include <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> tags for your Servlet. Here's the example web.xml file from the Tomcat 5 docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/web.xml.txt -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
