Hi, using RH Linux 9 (blag), I have jsdk, ANT, and Tomcat loaded. Jsdk let me run helloWorld.java from command line, and Tomcat allows me to view their welcome page at localhost:8080.

I have seen in a tutorial: http://www.dougsparling.com/comp/howto/Ent...ux-HOWTO-4.html
that i should be able to run java servlets by creating a <CONTEXT PATH> at $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml , and I have created that path there:
<Context path="/sparling"
docBase="webapps/sparling"
crossContext="false"
reloadable="true">
</Context>

and then created the necessary directory path :

# cd $CATALINA_HOME
# cd webapps
# mkdir sparling
# cd sparling
# mkdir WEB-INF
# cd WEB-INF
# mkdir classes

I took the helloJava.class file, and put it in the classes ($CAT_HOME/webapps/sparling/WEB-INF/classes ) directory.

The instructions said that now I can run this servlett by going to :
http://localhost:8080/sparling/servlet/HelloWorld

in my browser (mozilla).

But when I do this, I get : The requested resource (/sparling/servlet/HelloWorld) is not available.

Can anyone tell what might be wrong ?

Additionally, I am not able to get a hello.html page to display using the method explained to me in another tutorial:

The instructions said if I put an HTML file in directory:
install_dir/webapps/ROOT or install_dir/webapps/ROOT/somePath

that I could access them with http://localhost/filename or http://localhost/somePath/filename.

I put the file in that director, and then used http://localhost:8080/test1.html in my browser, and was giiven: The requested resource (/test1.html) is not available.

Any suggestions regarding what I should do, or where I can get the information I need to get Tomcat running pages and Java Servlets?

thanks for listening,

Mike P
