Hello,

I added the following to Web.xml in the sample application that comes with
tomcat.

<servlet>
<servlet-name>TestDBTimeExample</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>TestDBTimeExample</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TestDBTimeExample</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/TestDBTimeExample</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I did add the class file under web-inf/classes

But tomcat does not recognize my servlet "TestDBTimeExample "
Any help will be appreciated.

There is not enough info to make much of a guess as to what is going
wrong. For a first guess, I will assume you are running Tomcat in
Eclipse with a default configuration. As a result, you will not see the
the example webapp running in this Tomcat configuration for the
reasons explained in this[1] question in the Tomcat FAQ.

You might think about putting WTP to better use by creating your own
Dynamic Web Project and use it for your experiments, assuming you
haven't already. You can use the Servlet Wizard to create the servlet
and update the web.xml to simplify the process. After creating and
editing your servlet, you can right-click in the editor for the servlet
and execute Run As -> Run on Server to run it.

Cheers,
Larry
