run servlets in tomcat

[Jefhandle]

I use Tomcat 4.1. and run my Servlets from eclise
is that possible to use only Tomcat(without eclipse
and other Tools)
and run my servlets file? should i register my
servlets in any Tomcat's file(server.xml etc) ?

yes theres nothing with using tomcat directly. you can use any editors to create files, compile+archive them using command line java, then use the tomcat administration manager to 'deploy' your files.
see the jakarta.apache.org website for some links.

You should get into the habit of build WAR files (Web ARchive), and then deploy them into the webapps directory.

thanks, it works now!just other Question is
how could call the servlet without
type hostnameortnumber/servletname
i will to run at f.e.

http://www.myhome.com/servletname

or just run at localhost/servletname

??

You need to edit server.xml and change the listening connector port from 8080 to 80 (web browsers default the port to 80 so when you type "

http://www.domain.com/whatever"

it actually is "

http://www.domain.com:80/whatever")
