I am learning servlet programming and I have not gotten to display a page
properly. It is quite frustrating because I get a message that the
page does not exist.

I start tomcat, load IE, and try the URL

http://localhost:8080/myApp/servlet/Primitive

Primitive is the name of the servlet I want to run.

I am using IE 5.5, WIN2000 sp4, jsdk1.4, tomcat 4.1

I followed all the instructions to install and set tomcat.

Under c:\tomcat\webapps I created a directory named myApps and
inside it I created a dir name WEB-INF. In this directory I have created
a dir named classes and a file named web.xml.

My classpath and path are set for:

JAVA_HOME = c:\j2sdk1.4.1_02
path = %PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\\bin
CLASSPATH =
.;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30\common\lib\servlet.jar


The codes are (actually they were taking from a book)

import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class PrimitiveServlet implements Servlet {

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
System.out.println("init");
}

public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println("service");
}

public void destroy() {
System.out.println("destroy");
}

public String getServletInfo() {
return null;
}
public ServletConfig getServletConfig() {
return null;
}

}
