Sure. This is how my web.xml file looks:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
   PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
   "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>

<web-app>
 <display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>
 <description>
    Welcome to Tomcat
 </description>

 <!-- added the following section -->
<servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

Could you kindly send us an extract of your web.xml file, where the Servlet and the serlvet mapping are defined?

HI,

I'm quite new at using tomcat. I've installed tomcat 4.1. I've followed my book (Java Programming (Shelly Cashman Series)) and modified my web.xml ("invoker") in the web-inf directory & enabled servlet reloading for tomcat. Tomcat seems to be working well & all the servlet examples work fine. I assume my classpaths are all correct.

I've susscessfully compiled a servlet called WebStocks which is the controller in my MVC model and placed it in the classes folder in the web-inf directory.

I am able to access the index.html through (localhost:8080/index.html).
My aplication requires you to log on the index.html and when you click "log on", the userName and password are supposed to bo posted to the WebStocks servlet. However, when I click "log on", all that is displayed is: Status 404 - /servlet/WebStocks

type Status report

message /servlet/WebStocks

description The requested resource (/servlet/WebStocks) is not available.
