Can you remind me how to do that (or where to find documentation
describing it)?
FileUploadServlet is one that I wrote some time back and it has a
web.xml file associated with it. I'm pretty sure I created it myself
although I don't actually remember doing so at this point. Here are the
current contents but I'm not sure if this is still how the web.xml
should look at this point:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";>
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>form</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>upload.UploadForm</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>upload.UploadServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>uploadDir</param-name>
<param-value>uploads</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>form</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/form</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Also, does this file need to be put into Tomcat somehow so that Tomcat
can see it? If so, what is the proper mechanism to do so? Or does the
act of exporting to the war file do that automagically? Again, my memory
is really fuzzy on this stuff and I don't remember where these
techniques are described.

Subject: Basic Question
I hope someone will take pity on me and help me with this very basic
question. I was moderately fluent with servlets and Tomcat several
years ago but haven't touched them in a while. I'm trying to get back
into servlets now.
I am having trouble getting my servlets to start in Tomcat. I
inevitably get a 404 error. I am running Tomcat 6.0.26 on Windows XP
SP2. The sample applications in Tomcat run fine.
My servlets are in Eclipse 3.5.2. They compile fine and I have used
the Tomcat menu to export them to the war file directory; no error
gets reported when I do the export. I did a manual deploy of the war
file from the "war file to deplay section of the Tomcat Manager page.
When I start the Tomcat Manager in my browser, it shows several
servlets, including the examples and the servlets that I have deployed
myself. In each case, my own servlets seem to be started just fine.
All of them say "running", the number of sessions is 0 for each of
them, and all of them have stop, reload and undeploy options which are
clickable and a start option which is not clickable. To me, that says
these puppies are started and there is no error in any of them.
However, when I click on my servlets, like /FileUploadServlet for
example, I get this:
HTTP Status 404 - /FileUploadServlet/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*type* Status report
*message* _/FileUploadServlet/_
*description* _The requested resource (/FileUploadServlet/) is not
available._
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache Tomcat/6.0.26
I feel sure that I've simply neglected to do something simple and
straightforward but my memory is failing me. I can't remember what
other steps are needed to get a servlet configured so that it runs in
Tomcat.
I was going to try to run the servlet in Eclipse but I'm darned if I
can remember how to start it there either.
Can someone help me out?
