Your efforts to assist are greatly appreciated. Please don't take my next
question as a sign of laziness or stupidity. I'm a biginner when it comes
to programming and have been struggling with this one issue for ages.
I did everything in your suggested sollution. The one bit I need to clearify
is the full.package.name in :
<servlet-class>full.package.name.WebStocks</servlet-class>
I have the WebStocks class in the C:/program files/apache group/tomcat
4.1/webapps/root/web-inf/classes directory
How should I write the full package name?? . <servlet-class>.?. </servlet>.

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>

Welcome to Tomcat
</description>
<!-- added the following section -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
OK. You need to remove the invoker section and do something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>WebStocks</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>full.package.name.WebStocks</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>WebStocks</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/WebStocks</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and modify your application to call /WebStocks rather than
/servlet/WebStocks
Notes:
1. The invoker is really, really bad. See the FAQ for why.
2. Your servlet should be in a package and you must specify the package
name in web.xml

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.
