Re: Apache Tomcat/4.1.24 forumdemo/servlet_example1 not working

Hy reid,

have checked if your velexample context in tomcat work?

If so, try to put a simple Hello - servlet in velexample/WEB-INF/classes
and try to access this.

I cant imagine altough I haven't tryed it for myself, that you wouldnt
get any message from the velocity servlet if the velexample context
work.

good luck

wido
