You still haven't indicated which version of Tomcat, so it is hard to make specific recommendations.
For all 3.x and 4.x Tomcats, creating a subdirectory under the "webapps" directory is the simplest way to bring a new web application online. Tomcat will automatically serve these subdirectories without requiring config file changes. You seem to have done this. However, I can't tell much from "I don't even reach the point where Tomcat itself is running my application". What error is reported when you try to run a servlet? What do you see in the log files? Cheers, Larry P.S. If you are not familar with the Servlet specs, you can download it from here: <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html> Tomcat 3.x implements Servlet 2.2, Tomcat 4.x implements Servlet 2.3. > -----Original Message----- > From: Camara, Jose [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 12:27 PM > To: 'Tomcat Users List' > Subject: RE: Application configuration > > > Thanks Larry, > > I don't even reach the point where Tomcat itself is running > my application. > I guess I need to indicate Tomcat where and how to recognize > the classes for > my application.
