almost there

[
Thanks for all the help Perry, I think I almost have things running.

Couple of errors I get when I start up the server:
]

Configuring web service using "file:/opt/tomcat/mystuff/WEB-INF/web.xml"

config parse: parsing error: There is no web component by the name of
>            foo
> here.

[
- under  <servletclass> </serlvetclass>  in web.xml under mystuff  i
just put the servlet class name. foo.class
do I need to specify the path e.g.  mystuff.WEB-INF.classes.fooclass
]
[
also
]

The scratchDir you specified: /opt/tomcat/work/8080%2Fmystuff is
unusable.



Ok, I can see my directory under localhost:8080:mystuff/

I created a html file to access my servlet called foo.html under
mystuff, I am accessing it using <a href>
and the path is ../servlets/foo  , is that right? I get an instation
error when I click on the link, is that an errot due to the configuraion
of my stuff or an error in my servl

ERROR 500
