Hi

You must provide a mapping in your web.xml configuration file. This mapping will allow you to access servlet via url in form: "http://[domain]:[port]/[context]/servlet/[servlet full qualified name]"

This file should be located at $TOMCAT_HOME/conf.

Sample web.xml contains:

<web-app>

<display-name>Sample Database App</display-name>

<description>

This is a simple application.

</description>

<servlet>

<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>MyServletImpl</servlet-class>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/myservletaddr</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>
