running servlets and/or html from webapps.

I am new to Apache (but a verrrry old programmer).

I have a servlet in
c:\apache\webapps\myapp\src\mypackage\servlet1.cla ss, put there by ANT

I cannot get it to execute.
Apache keeps telling me the "requested resource is not available".

I have tried ...
http://localhost:8080/webapps/myapp/...servlet1.class
http://localhost:8080/myapp/src/mypa...servlet1.class
with and without the dot-class extension

If I use the url http://localhost:8080/webapps/root/index.html
I get a 404

If I use the url http://localhost:8080/
I get the contents of c:\apache\webapps\root\index.html

It seems as if objects are not accessable as urls when in webapps.

I have restarted the apache server after moving files.

In the most recent "catalina.log" i have the message ...
Apr 22, 2008 5:13:17 AM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester
fatalError
Did the digester eat something bad?


I have many different books and they all differ as to how I should
place
my classes

Can you help?
