Creating my own context in Tomcat 4.1.18. Help.

Question

Hi
I have installed and created my own context in Tomcat 4.1.18
I have created a folder under
%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps called Wap
So my structure is:
%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/Wap/WEB-INF/classes/<MyServlet.class>
I have also modified the server.xml to include the context
<!-- Tomcat Examples Context -->
<Context path="/Wap" docBase="Wap" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_examples_log." suffix=".txt"
     timestamp="true"/>
<Ejb name="ejb/EmplRecord" type="Entity"
home="com.wombat.empl.EmployeeRecordHome"
remote="com.wombat.empl.EmployeeRecord"/>
</Context>
But when i try to call this servlet thru the brower by saying
http://localhost:8080/Wap/servlet/MyServlet
I get the message
The requested resource (/Wap/servlet/DeviceLocation) is not available
AM I MISSING SOMETHING??? CAN SOME HELP?

Two things:
1) Did you put a web.xml file in %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/Wap/WEB-INF ?
2) Did you put mapping for your new servlet in this file like:
   <servlet>
      <servlet-name>localName</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>full.package.className</servlet-class>
   </servlet>
   <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>localName</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/servlet/path</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>Patrick
