I am having the same problem. I tried exactly like an example of a book.
Then i read this thread and I tried to load the examples that come with tomcat.
http://localhost:8080/servlet-examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample
And it�s not working. It works only .html files, for example:
http://localhost:8080 -> opens the tomcat homepage
http://localhost:8080/jspbook/index.html ->opens my example
my project looks like this(inside the webapps) /jspbook/ WEB-INF ; build.xml ; index.html
/jspbook/WEB-INF/ web.xml ; classes
/jspbook/WEB-INF/classes/com/jspbook/HelloWorld.java
My web.xml got:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.jspbook.HelloWorld</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Then I try to acess it
http://localhost:8080/jspbook/hello
and I get 404. the resource is no available
Who can help me?
