If you're talking about the regular Hello World example in : http://localhost:8080/servlets-examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample
I don't know why it wouldn't work. I have a very vanilla Tomcat 5.5.17 install on Windows/2000 Professional with JDK 1.5.0_08 (just rebuilt the system), and everything works out of the box. What changes have you made to the stock Tomcat? Can you install a completely changed Tomcat somewhere and see what happens? I don't use the invoker servlet. I edit the web application's web.xml and reload the application or build another war file and upgrade the application. That way when I go to production, there are no surprises - like forgetting a servlet definition in web.xml and wondering why things don't work . . . .
