i am using tomcat 6.0 as web container, in eclipse only i have integrated tomcat and have added the web project in it. The server is getting started properly. When i am trying to access the Main.html page, i am not getting anything on the browser, in the tomcat server configuration, there are two ports, one is admin port and other is HTML/1.1 port and value is 8005 and 8080 respectively. When i am using http://localhost:8005/Main.html i am getting nothing one the web browser, but when i use http://localhost:8080/Main.html i get some tomcat error.

is there something i am missing. I am unable to figure it out. Please help me.

    Edit: Ah yeah, you need to use the ServletProject as url-pattern..
    Try to access the file with the following URL: http://localhost:8080/ServletProject/Main.html

    You need to configure your application properly in the web.xml file and if you want to use later a Java class and use it as a Servlet you have to define this in the web.xml like that:

    <servlet> 
   <servlet-name>CurrencyConverter</servlet-name> 
   <servlet-class>servlets.Converter</servlet-class>
</servlet> 
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>CurrencyConverter</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/convert</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

    The url pattern defines the path you can access it later. To access the CurrencyConverter in the above code you need to use this url: http://localhost:8080/convert

    Yeah and it would be good when you could show us the error you get..
