Hi John. Both John and I were right... Moving your directory outside ROOT was the first step.
Now, in your web.xml, the <servlet-class> element is wrong. It should contain a servlet class that should be found under your WEB-INF/classes directory. So if you want to reference the class that you have under comlinks\WEB-INF\classes\com\mycompany\MyServlet.class, simply put "com.mycompany.MyServlet" in the <servlet-class> element. By the way, it's hard to tell what your class name and package actually are. It's a good idea to follow conventions and place it in a package called com.company.project Shay On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 5:11 AM, John Byrne <jbmulti...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Shay > > copy of directory structure > > C:\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\comlinks\WEB-INF\classes> > > I have changed this it incorporate your suggestions. > > I attach a copy of web.xml > > many thanks for your help. > > Kind Regards > > John > > On 27 June 2010 15:54, Shay Rojansky <r...@roji.org> wrote: > > John, > > > > Can you please send your web.xml as well?
