You propably created a WebApp named "myapp", i. e. created a folder $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp which you can access via http://localhost:8080/myapp/ The <url-pattern> you have configured is relative to this WebApp root. To access your servlet, try http://localhost:8080/myapp/myapp The reason why you get an error message when you access http://localhost:8080/myapp/ is that you don't have a welcome page (by default index.jsp, index.html etc.) in yout WebApp. Regards mks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
