Adrian, No luck and magic, only patience while learning the details :)

Your deployment descriptor (web.xml) must contain a servlet mapping for your container (aka server) to know how to locate the resource. The following tags will help:



    Servlet Name
    Your Servlet Class



    Mapping Name
    /urlpattern

This link outlines the basic steps for getting a servlet to run.

You should be able to add the proper mappings in web.xml, restart your server and magic should occur! Hope that helps, post again with more details if not.
