Tomcat Manual Deployment

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to manually deploy a project (form, servlet, java class, jsp) but I put the project into ROOT folder. I think I'm wrong because when the form executes post method on the servlet Tomcat cannot find it and gives me Error HTTP 404(resource not available). But if I try to put the project into a folder inside webapps - at the same level of ROOT- the server cannot find even the form .Must I change something into any configuration file (C:\Programmi\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf) ?
Does somebody can explain me what is the right way to manually deploy? What configuration file have I to modify and in which way?
Thank you!!

Answer 1

The directory where you have to put all your project files is /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT. - It is on ubuntu 9.10.
You do not need to modify any files for deploying your project.
I put my project files, which are:
META-INF folder which has contex.xml and MANIFEST.MF files in it.
WEB_INF folder which has classes, libraries and web.xml file in it.
And all jsp, html, css and etc..
And my project runs without any problem.
