Hello,
I arrange servletAPI following your guid in page 39,but after starting the web Server (tomcat 4.1.24),run it in the IE,the screen shows as follows:

HTTP Status 404 - /servletAPI/servlet/basicServlets.BasicServlet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /servletAPI/servlet/basicServlets.BasicServlet

description The requested resource (/servletAPI/servlet/basicServlets.BasicServlet) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/4.1.24



But I can run the servlet in the examples that lies in the webapps.What's wrong with my config or application?

Where did you put your classfile?
And show the relevant sections of web.xml

Usually when you get a not found on a servlet either the servlet class isn't there or there is something wrong in the server configuration (like having it point to an incorrect classfile).

You should do so strictly or maybe reboot your tomcat for your new web application.
good luck!
