Looks normal .. you won't get a file named CreateCustomerServlet under
DbTest. You should get a class named CreateCustomerServlet.class in
WEB-INF/classes/servlet. That class will be called when your webapp
receive's a request for
http://localhost:8080/DbTest/CreateCustomerServlet (assuming tomcat was
installed with listening on port 8080 and it's installed on your local
workstation). That's what the <servlet-mapping> ... </servlet-mapping>
part of web.xml is all about -- mapping URLs to servlets.

However, I don't see "CreateCustomerServlet" copied into my DBTest folder
in the linux(tomcat) server.
Here is the project directory listing of my tomcat server (in linux):
linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps/DBTest # ls
. .. META-INF WEB-INF customers.jsp
Thanks

But if you followed the tutorial, there should be a servlet mapping in
your web.xml looking like what I copied and pasted from the article
below:
<servlet>
<description>Create Customers Servlet</description>
<display-name>ListCustomers</display-name>
<servlet-name>ListCustomers</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlet.ListCustomersServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ListCustomers</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ListCustomers</url-pat-tern>
</servlet-mapping>
This defines a servlet in the <servlet> element and then defines the
URLs this servlet should service in the <servlet-mapping> element. In
this case there doesn't need to be a physical file named ListCustomers
in the top level of the DbTest webapp.
Your tutorial was very much geared to showing you how Eclipse works,
more or less assuming you had some familiarity with servlet and/or java
programming. I would recommend finding some tutorial material that
focuses on servlet/jsp programming, ignoring IDEs like Eclipse.

HI there,
It sounds logical, but there is no LIstCustomers in the DBTest folder.
Thanks

I see .... the jsp is a view and as such wasn't designed to be run on
it's own. Try http://localhost/DBTest/ListCustomers in your browser.
That should hit the servlet which in turn should generate the required
bean and forward the user to your jsp.

Hi, thanks for trying to help.
I dont' have a clue on this *bean*.
The entire tutorial doesn't mention about how to setup a bean...
The tutorial I;ve followed is shown as below:

Thanks
