i am new to
servlet technology. i have written my first servlet program and placed it in web-inf/classes folder in
tomcat. and my html page in root directory. the issue is whether i should configure web.xml file or not?(although i configured it, i got 404 error, saying that the particular servlet file is not found).
i have heard my friend saying that when we place html file in root directory, we do not need to configure xml file. why is that so?? can someone explain please..
