Deploying Simple Servlet

[dontocsata]

Hello all, I am new to Java Enterprise, Servlets, and JBoss (learning for a job).

I jave jboss 4.2.3, running up fine.

I have a simple HelloWorld Servlet (code below). How do I deploy this on jBoss? I made a folder WEB-INF with a web.xml containing:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" version="2.4"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http:/java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
 <servlet>
 <servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>test.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
 </servlet>

 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

I put my web-inf folder into the deploy folder and it fails to deploy it, it says the state for each file is 'INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER'.

How do I actually get this servlet to run?

Folder Structure:
WEB-INF/web.xml
WEB-INF/classes/test/HelloServlet.class

CODE:

package test;

import java.io.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;

public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {
 public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req,
 HttpServletResponse res)
 throws ServletException, IOException
 {
 PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();

 out.println("Hello, world!");
 out.close();
 }
}

I got it to deploy, but how do I access it?

I made the following changes:

File structure:
helloworld.war/WEB-INF/web.xml
helloworld.war/WEB-INF/classes/test/HelloServlet.class

XML File:

 <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" version="2.4"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http:/java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
 <servlet>
 <servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>test.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
 </servlet>

 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

http://localhost:8080/helloworld/hello

The "/helloworld" context comes from the WAR file name, the "/hello" comes from the url-pattern in the web.xml.
