I’m developing a Servlet using Tomcat Servlet Engine(version 6.0)
I’m a completely newbie about this stuff, so I’m reading some stuff on the net.
Now I create my servlet folder under:
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/myapp
under this I create WEB-INF folder and classes one.
So I have this hierarchy:
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/myapp/WEB-INF/classes
I’m trying to execute this simple servlet:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet{
public void doGe(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Hello Servlet!</h1>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}
}
after compiling I put .class file, of course under classes directory, and then I created web.xml file under WEB-INF directory, here’t the content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Move the folder from ROOT to webapp, folder structure should be
