Manually invoke a servlet

Steps

  1. Simply type the servlet's URL into the URL window:
    http://localhost:8080/wa/servlet/smartsoft.tutorial.first.FirstServlet
    
    or, more generally:
    http://host_name:port/web_app_root/servlet/full_servlet_name
    

Note: This assumes the port is 8080. Tomcat and Resin default to port 8080. Orion defaults to 80.
