[Sabber bhatia]

Hello there,
i am having a problem in deploying srvlets.
My problem is when i am creating a folder name ch1 in

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ch1

And then in ch1 i copied web-inf folder from
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\servlets-examples\WEB-INF
and paste in my folder and then put my class file in classes folder and then edit web.xml
but when i am deploying its giving not finding servlet 404 error

Please tell me every step how to do

Thanks

Try to create a WAR file (which is a jar file but with extension war) paste the war file in webapps, it should work.

how to make a war file

using the Jar command.
or if you are using an IDE such as Eclipse then right click on the project and choose export and follow the procedure.
