I'm trying to prepare for the
servlet portion of the assignments, and since Orion is history, I downloaded
Tomcat 7 and it's installed and running. But for the life of me, I cannot create any kind of example servlet. I'm just wanting to make sure I understand the basics of deploying a webapp servlet when the time comes. But there's just nothing that works? Every tutorial I go over fails in some way.

This one here, for example, does NOT work. I compile the .java file just fine, move it to the directory, enter the correct URL, and I get a bad request page. And that's really my best attempt. I mean, I dunno, do you just need an
IDE until you get used to this or what? It's like beating my head against a brick wall trying to do this manually, and nothing has worked yet...
