Short question to WAR-file

Question

Hi there,
I've searched the forum but couldn't find what I'm looking for ... I'm just about to test Tomcat with WAR-files:
1) I got Tomcat 5, unzip, startup --> running fine
2) Have created a demo WAR using NetBeans, working fine, too (in NetBeans)
3) tried to copy the war file into the webapps folder in tomcat --> deployed (no errors)
4) looked up, what's the URL-pattern for my service (is "/servlet/Eval") <-- well ...
5) tried to access the service via "http://localhost:8080/servlet/Eval" --> NOT FOUND (???)
Port is right 'cause the start-page appears. What's wrong here?
Thx for reading.

Answer 1

I think the URL you used to invoke the servlet is incorrect.
I'll assume that:
Your WAR file is named my-app,
You have a web.xml in its WEB-INF directory that maps your servlet class to a URL /my-servlet,
Your servlet is in a package.
If all this is true, the URL should be:
http://localhost:8080/my-app/my-servlet
See if that's better.
