Hi Deepa,
1. Open up your autoexec.bat,
2. Add this line to your CLASSPATH,
set classpath=C:\tomcat4.1\common\lib\servlet.jar;C:.;[and all your others classpaths]
3. save it
4. close the current command prompt, openup a new window
5. cd\
6. autoexec.bat
7. set
8. cd C:\tomcat4.1\webapps\root\web-inf\classes
9. javac HelloServlt.java

It should work now. The reason you are unable to compile servlet files is, javac is not able to find the servlet related class files. The servlet.jar does not come with standard java sdk.
Usually the jsp container comes with servlet.jar. So we need to explicitly say where the servlet.jar is in classpath.
I have Tomcat4.0.3 installed in my machine and the servlet.jar is under C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\common\lib. Please check yours and put the right path.
Regards,
Maha Anna

Try this
http://localhost/servlet/HelloServlet

If you still get the error, copy your HelloServlet.class to C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes dir and stop and start Tomcat.
Try this way
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloServlet
OR
http://localhost/examples/servlet/HelloServlet

Please read my prev. post. and try that way.
What happens when you just type http://localhost/
or http://localhost:8080 ?
Are you seeing the Tomcat welcome page? are you able to run the servlet and jsp examples come with Tomcat?

I copied HelloServlet.class to C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes dir
By giving
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloServlet
in the browser worked fine..
But in the documentation its given as to keep java and class files in
c:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\Root\Web-inf\classes
i created classes folder under Web-inf and put my java and class files underneath it.
and started tomcat , that works fine but in the browser i get error as
HTTP404 error
Why is that???
Any clue Maha Anna?

In
http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html#Test1
there is a section called
Test 1: A Servlet That Does Not Use Packages
Test 2: A Servlet That Uses Packages
Test 3: A Servlet That Uses Packages and Utilities
What i did was Test1.
How about the Test2 and Test3
In what way i have to run this???

Regarding your ROOT context problem, I suspect the default context is not correctly configured.
Open up your server.xml in C:\Tomcat4.1\conf dir and check for the following section.
Uncomment it, (remove <!-- and --> lines ) save it , restart Jrun and try to access http://localhost:8080/servlet/HelloServlet.
<!--
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
-->
See what happens ?

I did the same thing with my server.xml, restarted Tomcat, and it works fine. Do you have you HelloServlet.class file under C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes dir? Or have you moved to examples ? Just double check on it.
Not sure what's wrong .
Anyway, my suggestion is do not work with default context. Always try to work under a named context like 'examples' or create your own one and play under that.

Maha Anna

Yes. I did. At first, the 'classes' dir was not there. I manually created it. My HelloServlet is here
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\HelloServlet.class

I have experienced one case sensetive problem when I worked with Tomcat in my PC environment.
eg:, I have a directory created, and class file stored as myPro/testServlet, but I keep getting Error from browser, when I changed it to lower case as mypro/testServlet, it worked.
Try to check that and see if that help on your problem.
Hint root\web-inf vs. ROOT\WEB-INF.
have installed above HelloServlet.java in C:\tomcat4.1\webapps\root\web-inf\classes
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\HelloServlet.class

Depa-
Your problem is that you do not have the j2ee.jar in your classpath. This is the .jat that contains all of the J2EE APIs.
You need to add:
set path=%path%c:/j2eesdk1.4/lib/j2ee.jar;
to your autoexec
(This assumes you have downloadede the J2EE SDK and you installed it in c:\j2eesdk1.4)

try adding
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
in your web.xml between <web-app>
