How to make servlet work in my folder

Question

I created a servlet called FirstServlet.java (no package it belongs to) and used Tomcat-4.1.7.
If the servlet is put in "jakarta-tomcat-4.1.7/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes", it can be run at URL: localhost:8080/examples/servlet/FirstServlet. Now I created a folder in "webapps", called "test". My question is how to make FirstServlet.java work in "jakarta-tomcat-4.1.7/webapps/test/" or its subfolder?
I tried putting the servlet class in "jakarta-tomcat-4.1.7/webapps/test/WEB-INF/classes/" and running it at http://localhost:8080/test/servlet/FirstServlet, but it failed with msg saying "requested resource is not available".
Any advice is appreciated.

You need to set 'Context Path' for your 'test' (application) in conf\server.xml file.
It will be something like this, add these lines in that file and restart Tomcat.
<Context path="/test"
docBase="webapps/test"
crossContext="true"
debug="0"
reloadable="true"
trusted="false" >
</Context>
