hi all
i have
1. downloaded jakarta-tomcat3.2.1
2. i have made a simple servlet program and an html file to call that program
2. i start tomcat with startup command
3. now i called html file i made by http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/myhtml.html . this works
But when i want to call the servlet file through this html file it gives 404 error.
i have not downloaded any web server and i was doing this on internet explorer. so do u have to download some more software(web server ) if u want servlet to run.
i tried keeping my .class file in web-inf directory but failed.
where am i going wrong. please guide me.
thanx

Can you execute the Tomcat examples?
Study the way the class and html files are organized for the Tomcat examples.

Place your .class files in
<tomcat_home>/webapps/root/web-inf/classes
Place your .html files in
<tomcat_home>/webapps/root
Now try to call the file using:
http://localhost:8080/htmlfile
This worked for me !!
bye,
