Nicola - Read the thread from yesterday with the titles "Can't find servlet" - I had the exact same problem, it has to do with the invoker servlet - you need to add specific mappings in your web.xml file for each servlet, and disable the mappings for the invoker servlet under /conf/web.xml, it is a security fix from 4.1 and up I believe...

System administrators of my department installed J2SDK 1.4.1 and Tomcat 4.1.18 in a local machine. After that I have setted the enviroment variables CATALINA_HOME to the install_dir of Tomcat and JAVA_HOME to the install_dir of J2SDK1.4.1 classes. Then I can start Tomcat using the script $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh (it is a Linux machine) and I can see the local home page $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/ROOT/index.html browsing http://localhost:8080/ . I can see aslo the example servlets situated at $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/examples/WEB-INF/classes/ browsing http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/ServletName but I cannot see servlets situated in the usual work directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes browsing http://localhost:8080/servlet/ServletName (I'm just a beginner of JSP technology and this is what I found in a JSP manual that I should do). I mean that if I create any my servlet file called MyServlet.class and I put it in the directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/examples/WEB-INF/classes/ I can see it, but I canno see it If I put it in the directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes. I can also tell you that I can see any html page situated at $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/ROOT/MyPage.html browsing http://localhost:8080/MyPage.html Do you think this is a problem of configuration of Tomcat? How can I have a dedicated directory for my servlet classes? I send to you this mail because I'm just a beginner of servlets and Tomcat, and system administrators of my department told me that they never used Tonmcat before now, so they cannot (or they don't want to) help me. I would be very please to you if someone of you could help me. Thanks Nicola -- ------------------------------------------- Nicola Galante Universita' degli studi di Siena -- ITALY Tel.
