What errors are you getting? Is Tomcat working properly (the standard pages and samples display OK)? Where and how have you deployed your classes?

Please provide more information when you post - you'll find it easier to get help if people don't end up playing 20 questions to get at what the problem is...

I've deployed servlets and jsp under windows many times but under fedora 5 i get 404 error the resource isn't found at all,but under slackware tomcat never works at all.
thanks alot

The good news is that Tomcat does run under Slackware.

I'm assuming that you've created a user/group for Tomcat to run as (for example, user tomcat, group tomcat - not root) and that you can connect to http://localhost:8080/ - is that correct?

Should i make a new group for tomcat to run under fedora, that'sn't mysql to do that at all. http://localhost:8080 works enough to play my jsp files , hey i'm sun certified but still dont know what the heck with fedora,although url-mapping is pretty correct. but slackware drives me crazy most programming frameworks never work correctly.

That's odd - Slackware runs my dev tools (Java, Eclipse, Apache/Tomcat, Oracle, CVS, etc.) without any problems.

Yes, I'd create a tomcat group rather than use mysql. The deployment process is the same - just drop your .war file in the webapps directory. If you manually deploy, then you'd put classes under webapps/yourwebappname/WEB-INF/classes. I'm assuming that .jsp files still go under webapps/yourwebappname, I haven't used them for a while now.
