-----------------------------------------
there are a number of conditions that you have to follow to build a new web application.
to create a new web application follow the following steps:
1. create a new folder under the webapps folder for the tomcat (e.g., greeting folder)
2. create a subfolder in greeting folder called WEB-INF(required).
3. create a subfolder in WEB-INF directory called classes(required) and set any classes that you have created in this folder or any subfolder(for example com/GreetingServlet.class).
4. under the WEB-INF folder create a new file called web.xml(required).
5. in the web.xml file add the following text.
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>greetingSer</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.GreetingServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>greetingSer</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.greet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

6. restart the tomcat.
7. open the internet browser and print the following URL: http://localhost:8080/greeting/hello.greet and click Enter

now the output of your servlet will be displayed on your browser.
