Hi

Firstly, I think you might have a problem if your folder was really called
Web-inf since most containers _require_ WEB-INF all caps. I've sent you a
war file to your personal email address. If you put it in public_html and
start the server, you should get a blank page when you go to

http://localhost:8080/simple/

If you get a 404 message then I am not sure what to suggest - you may be
using so old a server that nothing I know applies because its relevance
expired before I started computing. If it doesnt work, then I think you
might have to consider downloading another servlet container instead,
perhaps tomcat 4

Now, if you navigate to the following address, then you should get a
response. What I did was, the following. I copied and pasted, saved and
compiled you servlet. And then created a folder called simple with the
following contents

public_html/
    /simple/
        index.html
        /WEB-INF/
            web.xml
                /classes/
                    SimpleServlet.class

web.xml has the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>SimpleServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>SimpleServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>

I then navigated to:

http://localhost:8080/simple/servlet/SimpleServlet

And got the expected result.
