Still have a few problems with Tomcat 4.1.12

Question

I�m using Tomcat 4.1.12
I�m having problems getting this to run in my envrironment.
Here�s my stuff:
Classpath= .;C:\Servlet_dev;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib\servlet.Jar
This is where I put my class file called HelloServlet.class.
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
Here�s the URL that I use in the browser
http://localhost/servlet/HelloServlet
Here�s the error:
message /servlet/HelloServlet
description The requested resource (/servlet/HelloServlet) is not available.

Hi,
Here's another tip.
Try running http://localhost
Are you getting the tomcat frontpage to show?
If not.
1. Start up tomcat
2. Try http://localhost:8080
If yes.
1. Create a directory in webapps called test
2. Create ..tomcat\webapps\test\WEB-INF
3. Create ..tomcat\webapps\test\WEB-INF\web.xml
as a similar web.xml page that you can find.
4 edit ..tomcat\webapps\test\WEB-INF\web.xml
to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>
hello.jsp
</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
5. create hello.jsp
Add some simple code, even it is only html stuff
6. Restart tomcat
7. Run http://localhost/test/hello.jap
Its simple, but it proves you have got this far.
