problem with running servlets using tomcat3.2.4

[Kishore Dandu]

I have a simple HelloWorld class. I placed it in
c:/installdir/webapps/root/web-inf/servlets directory(as suggested by core servlets book).
When I use http://localhost/servlet/HelloWorld it never opens the page.
Any suggestions.(I also moved this file to c:/installdir/webapps/root and tried to run. It did not work.
My class path does not contain above direcotories. Does it matter.
Kishore.

You need to call the directory 'classes' NOT servlets and you need to configure your servlet in web.xml
