Hi all, i don't know this is the only flaws that cause the 404 file not found error but it works for me. Here is my web.xml ==================================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!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> <servlet> <servlet-name>login</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.onjava.login</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>login</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> ========================================== * you should noticed the addtion element "servlet-mapping" By the way i modify the form action from "servlet/com.onjava.login" to "servlet/login" as well. i thinks it is because of the different version of tomcat. I try and error for days, so i think i should post here for anyone who follows my step. ALex Hong Kong

  This is a great article, but I also had some trouble getting the example to work.
  
  I followed the exact steps in the article and was getting a 404 error when submitting the login.jsp form. I changed my web.xml file to the following:
  
  ==========================================
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  
  <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">
  
  <web-app>
  <servlet>
  <servlet-name>mail</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>mail</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>mail</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/mail</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  </web-app>
  ==========================================
  
  This is assuming you have your .jsp pages in the root of the project directory “TOMCAT_ROOT/webapps/onjava/”. With this fix there is no need to change the action for the form.
  
  Alex, thanks for heading me in the right direction!
  
  Good Luck!
