I need help

In tomcat they have "jsp-examples" and "servlet-examples" under webapps
I have tried one example of servlet from HFSJ and it worked as I got existed root context means under "jsp-examples".

same thing again I made my project folder under "jsp-examples" and wrote my own web.xml and just wrote <servlet> tag
and tried to do the same thing like which I tried before...this time it didn't work

so I would like to know...

if "jsp-examples" has its own WEB-INF and if I write my own "Myproject/WEB-INF" under "jsp-examples/" will it work?

or

If I want to have my root context under "webapps" what is basic thing to do first.


Thanks

"jsp-exapmles" and "servlets-examples" have their own web.xml, so you cannot have your own web.xml inside these folders.
rather create your jsp-files or servlets and define it in the existing web.xml inside "jsp-examples" or "servlets-examples".

And, if you want to have your own root context then follow the J2EE folder structure.
create your own project folder and plant it in the webapps directory.
your project folder should at least have a jsp and web.xml.
