Since you don't show a port number in your URL, it would seem that you are using a web server in front of Tomcat. If so, is it the web server or Tomcat 3.2.3 that gives the 404 error? Note: If you are using IE with friendly error messages, you won't be able to tell. Assuming the web server is trying to serve abcd.htm, be aware that it has its own idea about where documents are found, i.e. Apache looks in "htdocs", IIS/PWS looks in "InetPub/wwwroot". Tomcat knows to look in "webapps/ROOT" for abcd.jsp, but the web server doesn't know to look in "webapps/ROOT" for abcd.htm. This is a basic problem with having a web server and Tomcat each have separate ideas about where the "root" context lives.
