Dear Sirs, dear group, Where does Tomcat expect me to put my class file, or jar file? Is it sufficient to put the servlet class in WEB-INF classes or must you install a war file?
I am using Tomcat 4.1 to get a simple servlet working. I have succeeded in compiling the servlet. I have put the class in the directory C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes And I was able to call my servlet from http://localhost:8090/examples/servlet/HelloIZ Now I want to call my servlet using http://localhost:8090/HelloIZExample After advice from the mailing list I have added information to the web.xml in ..\Tomcat 4.1\conf <servlet> <servlet-name>HelloIZ</servlet-name> <servlet-class>HelloIZ</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HelloIZ</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/HelloIZExample</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> The XML is correctly read, Tomcat starts up OK. But then using the browser gives me an error: I put this in the browsers address bar http://localhost:8090/HelloIZExample And then I get an exception indicating Tomcat cannot find the Java class for my servlet javax.servlet.ServletException: Wrapper cannot find servlet class HelloIZ or a class it depends on at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:844) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.allocate(StandardWrapper.java:621) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:163) Hence it probably expect me to do something else then putting the class in ...\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes Stupid question may-be but, where should it go?
