To do this you need to package the servlet as mycode.TestingFolder before you can refer to it as mycode.TestingFolder

This is basic Java, you should consider asking about packages in the Java in General (beginner) forum

[winay Kumar]

Hi,
Create a folder inside webapps folder and keep WEB-INF folder inside that folder which is creared by you. Now create web.xml file inside WEB-INF with root tag as <web-app>. Then only your application will be qualified as servlet application.

%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldExample.class
------------------------------------------------------------------
Download HelloWorld.java from http://archive.corewebprogramming.com/Chapter19.html to anywhere.
Change directory to the location where you stored HelloWorld.java and compile it with javac HelloWorld.java
Move the resulting .class file to %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes.
(Instead of using the %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes directory, we could have created an entirely new web app. That would have required adding another Context entry to the server.xml file. Had we done that, we would have had to restart Tomcat. To restart Tomcat, call shutdown and then startup again in the Command Prompt window in which we had originally started Tomcat.)
In a brower, access, http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloWorld. Your servlet will run.

Hi,
Thanks for your kind support.
I just followed what you told i m telling you what i had done it is as:
C:\Tomcat5.0\webapps\mycode(folder created by me)
Inside mycode i created WEB-INF & classes folder.
I just made copy past for web.xml file and put it inside WEB-INF folder created by me ans also put TestingFolder.class file inside classes folder created by me.
After this i deleted all the code for diff. srevlet mapping in web.xml file and added new as
<servlet>
<servlet-name>TestingFolder</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>mycode.TestingFolder</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TestingFolder</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/mycode/TestingFolder</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


So the look of my web.xml file is as

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Pls tell me now what should i do.

Please use real words when posting to the forums. Abbreviations such as "pls" in place of "please" only serve to make your posts more difficult to read and less likely to generate useful responses.

Please read this for more information.

thanks,

Try to map your servlet to /TestingFolder instead of /mycode/TestingFolder
