You need to create a web application, then. Find an online tutorial or a book, and you'll see that a web application needs to have a directory structure like this: webapps/yourwebapp webapps/yourwebapp/WEB-INF webapps/yourwebapp/WEB-INF/lib webapps/yourwebapp/WEB-INF/classes Your JAR files go under the "lib" directory and your compiled Java classes go under the "classes" directory (of course, in package-appropriate subdirectories). You should really also have a web.xml file in WEB-INF. Note that the Java source files are irrelevant to a web application: they need not be included. | Should they be compiled? Yes, and they should be installed under the "classes" directory as indicated above. | Also I would appreciate a reffernce to some documents where this is | explained! GIYF (Google is your friend): try searching the web for this information, as it is plentiful. Ignore anything that references "Apache JServ" which is an outdated servlet container that has been out of use for quite a long time (yet the documentation seems to survive on the web for some reason). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAke0eJ4ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAV3gCeJDvpuaDehMXx/3mFreIOZWqb 5i8AoLgOeqI4AzX8l9Wvbgt9gCxy6ZBX =Gzpw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
