Mona,
You have to keep in mind that virtual URL (like servlet context) does not always directly match paths on disk. As you can see http://hostname:7778/j2ee/ maps to C:\Infra10_1_2\j2ee\home\default-web-app. home is the name of the oc4j server. Create another oc4j server and see where its top directory is created.
About your questions:
1. Use the Application Server Control "Deploy Web App", like you tried before, but...
2. It does not work because you have archived the whole directory for oc4j.
Instead create a directory outside of the oracle home, with structure suggested by the Servlet Primer chapter:
"Here is the structure of the WAR file for the examples in this chapter:
EmpInfo.html
WEB-INF/
classes/
HelloWorldServlet.class
GetEmpInfo.class"
Then cd to that directory and do
jar cvf mywebapp.war .
Deploy like you did before:
Web Application: pick war file
App Name: mywebapp
Map to URL: /mona
If succesful, check where files end up so you know both url paths and disk paths and how they fit together.
