Lava,
Please read the following: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html Pay particular attention to: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html#Standard_Directory_Layout (please note the above link is line-wrapped) Here's an example. Each line level is a subdirectory. Comments are in parentheses. Static (top folder - application name) ├── (jsp, html, js, css, etc. - can have subdirectories) ├── META-INF (context.xml, not required - see Tomcat documentation) └── WEB-INF ├── classes (where the java classes you wrote go) ├── lib (where jar files - yours or third party libraries go) └── web.xml (deployment descriptor - read the standard) A minimal Tomcat 6 deployment descriptor for an application containing only static resources could be: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun. com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"> <display-name>Static Application</display-name> <description>HTML, CSS, and JS application</description> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app> (note again that the third / fourth line of the web-app element is line-wrapped) The index.html file would go under Static (Static->index.html). The web.xml file would go under Static->WEB-INF (Static->WEB-INF->web.xml). You would display this application by copying the entire directory structure to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, starting Tomcat, and then browse to http://localhost:8080/Static/ (provided you have not changed the default server.xml. If you want to make a war file, then go to the parent directory and issue the following command from the command line: jar tf Static.war Static Please note that case is important. This will create Static.war which can then be deployed using Tomcat's manager application (or copying Static.war to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps). . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ ----- Original Message ---- From: Lava Saleem <lnsal...@ualr.edu> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Wed, December 8, 2010 12:12:18 PM Subject: Re: HTTP status 404 Hi Chris Thanks for the reply >Didn't you ask this same question the day before yesterday? Have you read all the replies and questions? No this one is a different question & yes I have read the replies and went through the documentation >What does all that mean? Are those file paths? Are they descriptions of how you have concatenated files together? It doesn't make any sense to me. yes those are the folder path as you may see, I have filename.htm with web.xml with META-INF with classes with lib in a folder called WEB-INF this folder is in a folder called filename, filename is in the webapp folder. >What URL did you request? What resource did you expect it to serve? yes I have the url and I can't think of any resources needed thats why Iam asking the question Thanks Lava On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 2:47 PM, Christopher Schultz < ch...@christopherschultz.net> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Lava, > > Didn't you ask this same question the day before yesterday?
