Hi:
I tried this but when I add the servlet and
servlet-mapping tags to the web.xml, Tomcat throws an
error during startup!

ERROR reading java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@76cad3
At Line 57 /web-app/servlet/

I tried adding the mappings to web.xml files in /conf
and my web application...neither a success..

Am I doing something wrong? All I want to do is send
the request to my index.jsp page which will check for
something and then serve the file out!

Thanks
Prashanth
