Larry,

I forgot to include Tomcat version number which is 3.2.2 Even when I created
the directory, I guess I need to indicate tomcat how to resolve the classes
needed.

Here is the scenario:
1) Directory where all the classes are located is {server}imr/servlets
2) From here I can see the list of servlets
3) If I click on one or two of them I receive a download file screen with
options to open or save the class.
4) If I select to open the file from it's current location, I receive a
message saying "Could not find the main class. Program will exit!"

About log files .... hhhhmmm, I just have jasper.log and servlet.log files
under logs directory. Any of them indicates anything related to the problem.

Cheers,

Jose L. Camara

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.
