\VisualAge for Java\ide\project_resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\default_app\servlets\
should contain servlet classes

\VisualAge for Java\ide\project_resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\default_app\web\
should contain JSP or HTML

I don't remember where exactly, but there is a step-by-step in the online help of VAJ to help you during testing process

In WTE, if you do not add any special mapping in a .xml file, you have to call the servlet using the package full name.
ie : http://localhost/mywebapp/com.mycomp.myproject.myservlet
Is it the syntax you use to call the servlet ?

actually that is not the way i call my servlet
it is called by my HTML page which is in the web folder of the WTE and i call by /package name/directory/directory/etc..
but it cant find the first directory

I've made a mistake yesterday.
All apologizes.
You can call your servlet adding the /servlet/ in the url.
FORM method=POST ACTION="/servlet/com.mycompany.myServlet
Then your servlet has to be in the following folder :
"\VisualAge for Java\ide\project_resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\default_app\servlets\com\mycompany\"

try action="/servlet/com.myservletname" in your html page. servlet should be in /servlet directory of webapp.
