I am testing this very simple servlet,
http://calamity.giccs.georgetown.edu:8180/hungryminds/servlet/ch13.MySQLNamesTest
when I get this error,
Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 - HTTP Status 404 - /hungryminds/servlet/ch13.MySQLNamesTest
type Status report
message /hungryminds/servlet/ch13.MySQLNamesTest
description The requested resource (/hungryminds/servlet/ch13.MySQLNamesTest) is not available.
Now I am totally confused about this. I have the MySQLNamesTest.class under hungryminds/WEB-INF/classes/ch13.
I also tried putting comiling and putting the clas file directly under classes after commenting out app code in the java file and open it by,
http://calamity.giccs.georgetown.edu:8180/hungryminds/servlet/MySQLNamesTest
with similar results.
Please advise !!

Look in the tomcat log files. The stack trace will show up there. What does it say?

Look in the source for the servlet class. Does it have a package statement at the top? Does it say ch13? Usually when you have example code from a book (I'm assuming that's where you got the code), it is just left in the default package.

well there was a packge ch13 on top which I commented out compiled and put it unde WEB-INF/classes. But even then ....
Also before when I just left the pacakage statement, the class was under a directory called,
WEB-INF/classes/ch13 and so the URL was,
hungryminds/servlet/ch13.MySQLNamesTest and even then ....
This just beats me !!.

I can't quite remember some of the details about tomcat, but the two things I'd try are making sure the class file is world-readable, and also making sure the servlet is registered properly with tomcat.

Current versions of Tomcat do not allow you to invoke a servlet just by typing its classname in the URL. That was considered to be a security exposure.
You need to define the servlet in your web.xml file in two places - the first to assign a URL to a servlet ID and the second to take that servlet ID and map it to a class name.
