The Java Web Service Tutorial - help required

Question

Using Windows 98 platform...
I am working through the tutorial example "Hello World". I have got as far as deploying the service definition and starting Tomcat.
The tutorial then says to specify the URL http://localhost:8080/jaxrpc-hello/jaxrpc to verify the HelloWorld service has been deployed. At this stage I get the message "The requested resource (/jaxrpc-hello/jaxrpc) is not available.
Every thing else looks right... has anyone got an idea?

Srikanth,
The web.xml appears ok to me, I have pasted it below as I'm no expert.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
