You have mapped your servlet to the /sampleapp URL, so to access your
servlet, you need to use the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/sampleapp/sampleapp

I suggest changing your servlet-mapping as follows:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/HelloServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Then, you can use the http://localhost:8080/sampleapp/HelloServlet URL

I have my "sampleapp" folder into which a small trial of HelloServlet needs
to be tested.

The directory structure of sampleapp is as follows,

e:\sampleapp\WEB-INF\classes\
        WEB-INF\lib
        WEB-INF\sourcefiles
        WEB-INF\web.xml
The "classes" directory has got
classes\package1\structure

The <Context> </Context> tag in server.xml has been added like this.

/************************ server.xml ***************************/

<Context path="/sampleapp" docBase="e:\sampleapp" debug="0"
reloadable="true"> </Context>

/************************ server.xml ************/

/****************** web.xml *******************/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!-- Servlet mapping start -->
<!-- Define servlets. i.e. bind a servlet name to a class -->

<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>package1.structure.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<!-- bind a servlet name to a URL (pattern) -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/sampleapp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<!-- Servlet mapping end -->

</web-app>

/****************** web.xml *******************/



The error I am getting in the browser is this

HTTP Status 404 - /sampleapp/HelloServlet

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report

message /sampleapp/HelloServlet

description The requested resource (/sampleapp/HelloServlet) is not
available.


This is the url I gave

http://localhost:8080/sampleapp/HelloServlet


Kindly let me know what could be wrong in the above configuration.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
AS
