How do you deploy a WAR file on Tomcat?

[Randall Stevens]

I have created a WAR file called myServlets.war using the packager tool.
I have looked in the war and it shows the files in the form of WEB-INF/classes/mypackage/classname.class where the bolded items are my package names and classfile names.
I placed the WAR in the jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib directory, and restart my server. However I cannot access my servlets, what is wrong?

usually you put it in
/tomcat/webapps
and it extracts it to
/tomcat/webapps/yourwarname
it might work if you put it in
/tomcat/webapps/somecontext
too. not sure tho
