Hi :-) with jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1 and jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b(1/2/3), I find
the following in conf/server.xml:
...
<!-- Tomcat Examples Context -->
<Context path="/examples" docBase="examples" debug="0" reloadable="true">
...
the above defines a webapp/ServletContext->"/examples"
for accessing HelloWorldExample.class, we don't need to define Servlet mapping
if:
-HelloWorldExample.class is in WEB-INF/classes
- we only want to use the following to access it:
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample
