Without knowing how your web.xml file was defined, it seems to me a context root problem. Sun has its own way to define the path of a context root in its sun-web.xml file, unlike tomcat which uses the application name as the default root path. If you use Sun's Studio to package and deploy your web app, by default it may create a default context root as / instead of /yourappname as in tomcat.
The simplest way to solve this problem is to package your tomcat application yourself (if you haven't got a deployable war file) instead of using Sun's IDE, and deploy the war file to the autodeploy directory of your Sun One app server. By default, the autodeploy directory should be under $YOURSUNAPPSERVER/domains/domain1. You don't have to restart the SunOne server to do the deployment.

The example servlets and jsp's work fine but my servlets - that worked fine on my old pc with tomcat 4 - now don't work, the jsps are working fine but not the servlets. I get this error: HTTP Status 404 - /servlet/PostStudentID _____ type Status report message /servlet/PostStudentID description The requested resource (/servlet/PostStudentID) is not available. _____ Apache Tomcat/5.5.12 I have searched endlessly to try and see what's going wrong and tried all your pointers but cannot resolve it. Can you please help? Is Tomcat 5.5.12 compatible with Sun one studio 4?
