whats wrong in my DD ?

[naved momin]

i have a simple servlet code that take the combo box selected value from a html form and display it in the same page
i have compiled the servlet's .java code and put it into

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\beerV1\classes\com\example\web\BeerSelect.class

and my dd looks like

<web-app xmlns = "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmnls:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version ="2.4">
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Ch3 Beer</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>classes.com.example.web.BeerSelect</servlet-class> 
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Ch3 Beer</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>SelectBeer.do</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>
        </web-app>

class file name is BeerSelect

so when i click on submit button on that html page action triggers and container looks for servlet file , but shows me a message resources not found 404 error

HTTP Status 404 - //beerV1/SelectBeer.do

type Status report

message //beerV1/SelectBeer.do

description The requested resource (//beerV1/SelectBeer.do) is not available.

As long as I remember servlet-name shouldn't contain spaces. Try removing the space between Ch3 Beer in serlvet-name tag.

no, that is also not working, but surelly i would like to make a comment on head first servlets and jsp book
the examples which they have given are not precise and accurate
i guess they are correct for unix but not for windows , just started and found example errors in 1st chap

<servlet-class>classes.com.example.web.BeerSelect</servlet-class>

pay attention to the packages chain . is that start with classes ?

How it is possible for a Java web application to be workable on Unix but not on MS Windows?
