Deploying a servlet in tomcat 5.0

Question

I install tomcat 5.0 in my pc
I can run HelloWorldExample in browser using the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/servlets-examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample
I copy the HelloWorldExample.class into folder :
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
I also change the web.xml (path -- C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF)to include the following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldExample</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloWorldExample</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/index.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldExample</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/HelloWorldExample</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
but when I type http://localhost:8080/servlet/HelloWorldExample I go an error 404 The requested resource/servlet/HelloWorldExample) is not available.
I set the JAVA_HOME to j2sdk folder C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\
Am I missing sth in classpath?
And in tomcat 5.0, it is a must to specify all servlet in web.xml?
Is there any way I just copy the class into the folder and no need to specify the name in web.xml?
Thank you in advance!

Hi there,
actually I can run the example servlet by:
http://localhost:8080/servlets-examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample
today I change the web.xml in conf folder, I enable the following lines which are originally remarked:
(original line 90 to 102)
<servlet>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.catalina.servlets.InvokerServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
(original line 319 to 324)
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
then I have the following error when I type:
HTTP Status 500
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name LocalStrings, locale zh_TW
     java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(Unknown Source)
     java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(Unknown Source)
     java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(Unknown Source)
     HelloWorldExample.doGet(HelloWorldExample.java:39)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:697)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810)
     org.apache.catalina.servlets.InvokerServlet.serveRequest(InvokerServlet.java:419)
     org.apache.catalina.servlets.InvokerServlet.doGet(InvokerServlet.java:133)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:697)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810)
what should I do?
Thank you!
