Have you looked at the sample applications that come with Tomcat? They're full of examples.

give the fully qualified path to your servlet.
You servlet.class file should be in the classes dir under WEB-INF.

<servlet>
<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.my.servlet.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

where LoginServlet.class is in WEB-INF/classes/com/my/servlet directory.

btw, please read up the documentation/examples as mentioned in the prev post.

tx,

thanks for your reply

i have my program(HelloClientServlet.class) in
\root\HelloClientServlet\WEB-INF\classes\

so i have used only HelloClientServlet in <servlet-class> i.e

<servlet-class>HelloClientServlet</servlet-class>
is it ok.

in mapping the below syntax is right or not ---->>>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloClientServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>jaishriram</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

if something wrong there then please guideme that what should be written at that place

thank you
gaurav

I think it would be best for you to go thru these resources -
1.http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/introduction.html.
2.http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/04/19/tomcat.html

That way, you would learn a lot more than somebody hand holding you thru the steps of setting up a j2ee web application on tomcat. Believe me, that's how the people who reply to your posts learnt it :-)

ok this is how u map the servlet to a url.

<servlet>
<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.my.servlet.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>.

Now if your web-context is say 'test', then
http://machinename ort/test/login would invoke LoginServlet. Please do readup the resources.
