A question for deploying servlet to tomcat using the whole directory?

Show all headers | View raw

I am learning servlet and Context information. I can deploy my WAR file(/aa/bb/MyServlet.war) --on linux, to tomcat this way:

in the directory apache-tomcat-8.0.9/conf/Catalina/localhost, add the context file "hello.xml" with the content:
<Context docBase="/aa/bb/MyServlet.war" reloadable="true"/>

(The tomcat server is already running when I am doing this). The URL "http://localhost:8080/hello/my" works. ("my" is mapped in web.xml)

However, if I don't want to use WAR, I just want to use the whole servlet directory created by Eclipse:

/xx/yy/HelloWorldServlet
$tree
.
|-- WebContent
|   |-- META-INF
|   |   `-- MANIFEST.MF
|   |-- WEB-INF
|   |   |-- lib
|   |   `-- web.xml
|   `-- greeting.jsp
|-- build
|   `-- classes
|       `-- firsttry
|           `-- MyFirstServlet.class
`-- src
    `-- firsttry
        `-- MyFirstServlet.java

I try it in modifying the context file "hello.xml" mentioned above:

<Context docBase="/xx/yy/HelloWorldServlet/" reloadable="true"/>

The URL won't work. How can I make it work?

Thank you.
