Your pattern does not occur in your post. So, the pattern will not send the post to the servlet. If you make your post "anything" and make your pattern "anything", that will work. Get my drift? The post is just some text that should match the pattern and that will then refer the app to your servlet. -----Original Message----- From: Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 12:39 PM Subject: TC 4.0 newbie - servlet app won't run
