using Tomcat for servlets

[jemminger]

hello,

tomcat was installed along with netbeans ide...I know it's working because I can go to

http://localhost:8080

and get the tomcat default page.

i'm supposed to be able to put my servlet class files in a subfolder called 'web-inf', but this isn't working - i only get 404 not found" errors when i type in

http://localhost/web-inf/servletName

anyone have any ideas?
======================================

if (!succeed) try();

Hi there,
under the web-inf directory you also have to make a directory called classes. your compiled servlet "*.class " should go in there.

You also have to declare you servlet in the web.xml file
which should be in the web-inf directory.

I suggest the following link for all the information you need:
