I have this folder directory:

webapps/ROOT/META-INF/

......................context.xml

webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/

......................web.xml

webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib

.........................mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar

webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/server/LoginServlet.class

I have this web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/LoginServlet</url-pattern>
        <servlet-class>com.mycompany.server.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
</web-app>

LoginServlet.java has this init()

@Override
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
    System.out.println("Login Servlet Is Running");
    new Thread(guestRouter).start();
    System.out.println("path: '" + config.getServletName() + "'");
}

When I start Tomcat, this the output (init loads and it finds the class).

However, when I go to localhost:8080/LoginServlet it says resource not found. Been struggling for days. Any help is appreciated!

Is it possible that something is screwy in the tomcat config, and it's binding the ROOT context to some other path? - Ian McMahon
What does the LoginServlet do? - Ryan Stewart
@RyanStewart, handles logins. Has protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) function. - jn1kk
@IanMcMahon, default config. - jn1kk
It matters because when you request it, you get an error. The problem could be in the servlet. The full error message could shed some light, too. - Ryan Stewart

You need to add

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

and remove <url-pattern> from the place where you have.

Fixed with the following (WTF Tomcat).

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.mycompany.server.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/LoginServlet</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
