Thanks again, David. Since I restarted, the localhost log has:
Aug 24, 2006 9:31:17 AM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log SEVERE: Error loading WebappClassLoader delegate: false repositories: /WEB-INF/classes/ ----------> Parent Classloader: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ui java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ui ...

And Aug 24, 2006 9:32:00 AM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log SEVERE: Error loading WebappClassLoader delegate: false repositories: /WEB-INF/classes/ ----------> Parent Classloader: [EMAIL PROTECTED] elsewise java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: elsewise ...

However, I shut Tomcat down again, restarted it, and tried to access the "Hello World (down one)" Servlet Example from the default Tomcat home page. I got no error messages in the log, even though it still gives me the 404, not found error. So I guess these two 404 errors are from a different cause?

Have you taken a look at the logs generated by tomcat from startup through the request? May have some insight as to what's happening (or not happening). --David Steve Willett (Initiative Computing) wrote: >David, thanks for your quick response to my post! > >My reading of the dire warnings about enabling the invoker servlet lead >me to believe that I should not do so in a production environment. >However, this is a development environment, and I don't want to have to >modify a web.xml file every time I create a new Servlet class.
