Re: Beginner Servlet Config Q (with parameters)

If the C:\resin-2.1.0 is the default document root
for Resin's default Web application, I'm afraid its
not though, the next level should be the WEB-INF,
no the web-inf. And the URL should be

   ...../servlet/moreservlets.ShowMsg

not

   ...../servlet/ShowMsg

And, should I mention that Resin 2.0.5 had a bug
on its resin.conf that disabled the use of the
default URL for servlets. Look for the archive of
this list for '404 for servlets' posted Feb. 2002.
