Problem in running servlet on j2ee server

[abhibh_1]

The problem is that I have deployed an application in a j2ee server having a default port 4848 in admin console , but when I run the application in the browser by typing

"http://localhost:4848/<web context>/<Aliase name>" the browser displays the message as:-
***
HTTP Status 404 - /HitCounter/HitCounter
type Status report
message /HitCounter/HitCounter
description The requested resource (/HitCounter/HitCounter) is not available.
***

So what's this error message showing.

Thanks in advance

your application has a configuration file WEB-INF/web.xml file.
Make sure that you add an entry there for where to find servlet.

Thanx for your reply .In the address bar I have used port number 8080 instead of 4848, which really solved the problem.

But while installing j2ee , I have not changed the port number , by default the port number was taken as 4848.But for running applications I have to give the port number as 8080. Why?
