WL60 can't see servlet

Question

nt4.0
          I've spent the last 2 days trying to get a simple servlet to
          work and I failing miserably. Here's the web.xml:
          <?xml version="1.0" ?>
          <!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>
          <display-name>
          Hello World Servlet
          </display-name>
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>
          hello
          </servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>
          com.vignette.cms.apps.test.servlets.HelloWorldServlet
          </servlet-class>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/hello/*</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          </servlet>
          </web-app>
          I hot deployed it using an exploded war file with the WEB-INF/classes containing
          the compiled servlet.
          All I get are 404's when I type in this URL into the browser: http://localhost:7001/helloWorld/hello
          I've also tried /hello, /helloWorld/helloWorld. I've also tried every concievable mapping
          inlcuding the obvious /hello, hello, /hello/*. Here is my config.xml file:
          <!--If your domain is active, please do not edit the config.xml file. Any changes made to that
          file while the domain is active will not have any effect on the domain's configuration and are
          likely to be lost. If your domain is inactive, you may edit this file with an XML editor. If you do
          so, please refer to the configuration DTD. In general, we recommend that changes to your
          configuration file be made through the Administration Console.-->

          Initially I started out trying to get SOAP working but decided to back off and
          get a simnple servlet to work. I hope its just something bone-headed and
          hopefully one of you can point it out to me. Thanks.
          

Answer 1

Thanks. It was the fact that I had <servlet-mapping> under the <servlet> element.
          I would have expected a parsing error or something.
