Hello Tomcat Users. I need your help regarding servlet mappings in our WEB-INF/web.xml file running on an Apache webserver with a Tomcat container(most recent release) on a public website. After putting our web.xml file in public\WEB-INF and asking our web host to restart Tomcat, our servlet mappings stilll do not work in our test web page. I've searched through many books, even a Tomcat Quickstart book and they all say Tomcat has to be restarted for the servlet mappings in web.xml to work. So we requested a Tomcat restart and after this, the servlet mapping we use gives a <page not found> error. When I use /servlet/EventsServlet in <a> link, it calls the servlet and it works, but according to Tomcat documentation this is a security issue that we don't want to implement.
I'm hoping that you know what the solution(s) are and can point me in the right direction. I'm appreciative for assist that you may provide. Raymond P. Jones Ph: 518-446-9845 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
