  Tomcat has following folders
  bin, common, conf, logs, server, shared, temp and webapps
  
  The classpath is an environment variable that tells the java compiler javac.exe where to look for class files to import or java.exe where to find class files to interpret.
  
  The path is an environment variable that tells the command processor where to look for executable files. e.g. *.exe, *.com and *.bat files.
  
  Compiling a servlet
  You require to include in your classpath
  D:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\lib\tools.jar, where j2sdk1.4.2_03 is a java installation. now you can compile servlet source file, with javac Servlet_sourcename.java
  
  Setting tomcat to allow servlets to run
  create your WApp folder containing web application this contains WEB-INF and folders like classes, lib and web.xml folders.
  
  In web.xml folder of above web application you require to include
  <servlet>
  <servlet-name>Servlet_Name</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>Servlet_class</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Servlet_Name</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/Servlet_class</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  
  Add following text in tomcat_instal\conf\server.xml
  before </Host> tag
  
  <Context path="/WApp"
  docBase="D:\tomcat\webapps\webAppln">
  </Context>
  
  To execute servlet on Tomcat server
  at classpath include tomcat_dir\bin
  and type at command prompt startup
  At browser
  http://localhost:8080/WApp/Servlet-class
  will give you servlet.
