Error in Tomcat with Servlet

Question

Hi,
I made a webapplication in JBuilder. When I run the project it runs just fine, even when I type the URL http://localhost:8080/webshop/file.shtml in explorer. Very simple.
I installed the project war file in tomcat with the manager and tomcat made a webshop dir in web-app. This dir contains all the files needed for Tomcat to run a web-app
I configured the web.xml, it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!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>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dbservlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>webwinkel.DBServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dbservlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/dbservlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
But the web-app doens't run online. When I try to reach the servlet I get a 404. Tomcat can't find the servlet. Am I forgetting something here, if it runs local in JBuilder shouldn't it just as easy run on a webserver?
please help I'm desperate

Answer 1

looks like you should be pointing to the following url to get to your servlet:
http ://localhost:8080/webshop/dbservlet
Is this what you or your form is pointing to? Are you able to get to /file.shtml but not the servlet?
