    Hi all,

    Tried to do my first servlet deployment to Tomcat but failed.

    What I have done (on Leopard client, Eclipse 3.3.2 with WOLips
    3.3.5226):

    created an out-of-the-box WOLips WO-App named DBTest -> ok
    created EOModel against one table in a MySQL database -> ok
    using a WODisplayGroup and a WOBatchNavigationBar to show the contents
    of the table on the Main page -> ok
    test application running in direct connect -> ok
    running ant target "build" (the default) in build.xml -> error message
    ${classes.dir} not defined (WHY?)
    running ant target "compileAndBuild" -> everything ok
    result is a war-file with all WO frameworks included, great, exactly
    what I wanted

    now for the big test:

    Installed Tomcat 5.5.26 in WinXP as service, started, no config
    changes whatsoever
    Tomcat runs on port 8080 (http://localhost:8080 returns Tomcat page)
    put the generated war from the Mac into Tomcat webapps dir -> file is
    automatically unpacked

    AND NOW??? What URL would I give (working on the PC, local to Tomcat)
    Tried various things like http://localhost:8080/DBTest, with and
    without WebObjects, cgi-bin and other combinations
    All I get is 404-not found

    Oh, and just now I realized that catalina.log could have something:
    INFO: validateJarFile(C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
    5.5\webapps\DBTest\WEB-INF\lib\javaxml.jar) - jar not loaded. See
    Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/
    Servlet.class

    Ok, something is not correct, but I am no Tomcat/Servlet specialist.
    What do I miss? What do I have to do to make my app run?

    Thanks for your help and kudos to the WOLips folks: GREAT JOB, it is
    really fun to work with WO nowadays
