Hi Anthony, Not an expert, but have managed to deploy simple servlets. A couple of observations, not sure why using ROOT, you should have your own folder for your application (e.g. myFirstApp\...).
Also, I have found that the main app folder (e.g. myFirstApp) must start with a lowercase letter (I don't know reason for this but have it in my notes) otherwise the servlets won't be found when accessing them through a browser. Finally, the default install for TomCat has several example servlets already written so check that they work first and then take the sources and clone them, using them as a guide for your own servlets. John PS: Probably worth reviewing what file names you use (see your webapps.xml file) when making public requests so as not to inadvertently offend anyone.
