    Ok Im using Tomcat.
    I made a directory for to store my servlets in c which is c:/Servlets+JSP.

    How do I run the servlets stored in this directory?

    I know how to run the servlets I put in the root directory
    http://localhost:8080/servlet/theservletname.

    So what do I have to change in order to run the servlets in the
    c:/Servlets+JSP directory?

    Create your servlet WAR file then go to this address (if you default installed).

    http://localhost:8080/manager/html/list

    go to "WAR file to deploy" and put in the location of your war file and it will be deployed to the server.

    If you mean physically move the directory. No idea sorry.

    You can also change the Context parameter in your server xml to point to that docbase (or appbase)

    This is a good article (although its specific to Tomcat 4.1, the same methodology applies)

    http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/07/31/tomcat.html

    Be careful using the + sign though, if it appears in a server xml param it might try to treat it as a variable concatenation. Better off a) changing it, or b) encoding it.
