Hi,
I am having difficulties in deploying any servlet that I copy inside any
context that I define.

mycontext\
mycontext\WEB-INF\
mycontext\WEB-INF\web.xml
mycontext\WEB-INF\classes\myServlet.class

I keep getting a 404 error.

I am running java version "1.5.0" and Tomcat 5.5.6

I installed it in D:\Tomcat 5.5
and did not make any change to conf\server.xml and conf\web.xml

Can anyone come up with a concrete webapp with a servlet that successfuly
deploys ?

Thanks in advance

Most probably there is a configuration error on your web.xml.
Find a working *.jsp file at: www.fgerlach.com/testapp.tar.
Just untar this file in webapps/ and then browse
http://localhost:8080/testapp/
This should print the numbers from 0 to 9.
Note that Winzip removes the empty directory WEB-INF, which is included
in this tar file. It might or might not be necessary.

Do not place classes in the default package. Try this:
1) Add a package statement to your servlet class:
package mypackage;
2) Compile your servlet and place it in the /WEB-INF/classes/mypackage
directory.
3) In your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>someName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>mypackage.myServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>someName</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/someMapping</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
4) Reload the context and access your servlet:
http://localhost:<port>/<context>/someMapping

"someName" and "someMapping" can be anything.

Also, note that class names should begin with a capital letter, so
prefer MyServlet over myServlet.

The package issue is most probably the source of the problem....

you have to edit conf/web.xml and enable servlet invoker
open web.xml and remove comment from servlet invoker
you can do this by find and replace in notepad
find invoker and remove comment

then restart your tomcat
create the folder named classes in WEB-INF/<create here classes folder>
and enter the address in URl localhost:8080/servlet/<your servlet name>
