How to deploy my own webapplication

[djyoti sahu]

Hai
all,

i am using tomcat 4.*.
I downloaded from apache.

Servlet executes if i store class file in E:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes


but i have created my own webdirectory(jyotiweb) in E:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps
i created WEB-INF file in E:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\Jyotiweb
i created classes file in E:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\Jyotiweb\WEB-INF


save my hallo class file in E:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\Jyotiweb\WEB-INF\classes

save my web.xml in E:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\Jyotiweb\WEB-INF


in browser enter--


http://localhost:8080/jyotiweb/servlet/Hallo


but show error
Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 - HTTP Status 404 - /jyotiweb/servlet/Hallo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tApache Tomcat/4.0.1 - HTTP Status 404 - /jyotiweb/servlet/Hallo

dtype Status report

/servlet is disabled by default.

You need to enable it in order to use this mapping. But you already have your WEB-INF file, so the better alternative is to provide a servlet mapping and use that instead.

please tell me how to do this mapping.

Had the same problem put this in a file called web.xml in the WEB-INF directory of your app:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<display-name>[Servlet Name(anything you want]</display-name>
<description>[anything u want]</description>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ServletName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ServletName</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<!-- leave everything else as is -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app> 

Should do the trick
