[plug] Re: Java servlets with tomcat application server

[David Buddrige]

One of my collegues thinks that the problem is in the .xml file... Tomcat is 
definitely running correctly, since we can bring up the example servlets 
that come with it... 

It seems that the web.xml file is not constructed correctly.  Still working 
on what's wrong with it... 

cheers 

David.
