You must put the class in a .jar itself located in the WEB-INF/lib folder of a .war or you must put the class in WEB-INF/classes of a .war You must also setup your servlet un WEB-INF/web.xml
Then you must deploy you .war in tomcat (the easiest way is to use the manager: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html) If you don't know what web.xml and what a .war are, i suggest you take a look at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/index.html section about web technology.
