Hi mk,

   from what I can tell by looking at your site, the Jsp/Servlet support isn't active at the moment - you can tell this because it's possible to list your WEB-INF folder:

http://www.mindkayak.com/WEB-INF/

compared to:

http://www.transpear.net/WEB-INF/

you'll notice that the transpear.net displays "403 Forbidden - Resin 2.1.2", while yours displays at the bottom "Apache/1.3.26...". So you can see that the request isn't being passed onto Resin.

You'll need to email support (again!); but be gentle with them, they've been working very hard today.

To answer the rest of your question:

You don't need the Resin.xml at all,  the one you really need is the web.xml - this basically allows you to configure you web-app and give servlets a "mapping" so that you can access them with something like:

http://mindkayak.com/myTestServlet

rather than having to use the "/servlet/" in the url,  web.xml for this would look something like:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
   <servlet-name>myTestServlet</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>myTestServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>myTestServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/myTestServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


The top part is just a declaration that tells the XML Parser what type of xml document it is dealing with.  Hopefully the rest of it is pretty much self explanatory.

Jsp's aren't dependant on the web.xml,  so you can place these anywhere and call them the sameway you would a static html page.
