The requested resource () is not available

[Danielson25]

I can't get a simple servlet to run based on instructions from ch1 in a book.

I get this error...
'The requested resource (/myApp/servlet/TestingServlet) is not available'.

I got Tomcat 4.1.24 server running.
The default local jsp loaded ok.

Created 'myApp' directory under webbapps.
Created 'WEB-INF' under myApp.
Created 'classes' under WEB-INF

Created servlet called TestingServlet.
Placed servlet in the WEB-INF directory.
Compiled servlet.
Started Tomcat server.
Typed into the browser

http://localhost:8080/myApp/servlet/TestingServlet

Doesn't work...
Never told to create a 'servlet' directory but I don't think this is required.
What's going on?

just a little mod from my initial post..
the servlet was placed directly under the 'classes' directory.. not web-inf..

Something to look at ::

In your URL

http://localhost:8080/myApp/servlet/TestingServlet,

the '/servlet/' part is what the Tomcat InvokerServlet maps to WEB-INF/classes. In TOMCAT_HOME\conf, look at web.xml and search for "invoker". If this is commented out, then your URL won't work. Uncomment it, and it will.
