Problems with simple Servlet

Hello,
I am a J2ee newbie. I found great post showing how to deploy a simple servlet and JSP page.
I have run through the JSP page and it works great.

I ran through the serlvet example and I am having problems making the servlet run.
Everything compiles and deploys fine. I do not receive any errors when deploying the EAR.
When I navigate to http://localhost:8080/dos/servlet/Dos , I receive the following error:
ype Status report

message /dos/servlet/Dos

description The requested resource (/dos/servlet/Dos) is not available.

I have tried various things like moving the .class file around but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have attatched the EAR file if anyone wants to try to deploy it on their server or have a look at the way the files are set up.

Does anyone have any ideas why this example does not work for me?
Thanks in advance,
Rob Sullivan

In your application.xsml I would make the context root be /

In your web.xml I would put a <servlet-mapping> tag.

See this:

Thank you for the replay and the ideas.
I tried both ideas. No go still. I also read the article that was forwarded. This is very strange. I also tried deploying a simple example from my book with a web page and a servlet. I received the same error as I described able. Is there somewhere I have to tell tomCat to "enable" servlets. I can see the servlet file being deployed perfictly. Am I querying the servlet with an incorrect URL?
(I've attacthed both ears I modified for the above response)

Anymore ideas would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Rob Sullivan
