Any Web Application has a hierarchical structure (of folders) that is used for packaging the web applications. The application needs a reference point within the hierarchical structure. Here, let's call it TOMCAT_HOME. This represents the root of your server (Tomcat) installation, not your Web application root. When we talk of a Web application's context, we are referring to that Web application's root directory or path within a particular server. A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named WEB-INF. This directory contains all things related to the application that aren't in the document root of the application. It is this WEB-INF directory that is the Web application's root directory, also referred to as the context. The most important file here is web.xml, the name of the WebApp deployment descriptor. Let us take a look at the various contents (files & folders) that will be present inside this WEB-INF directory: 1. /WEB-INF/web.xml - This is the Deployment Descriptor file 2. /WEB-INF/classes/ - This is the directory where all your java class files will be placed 3. /WEB-INF/lib/ - This is the folder where all your JAR files go. The classes folder is where you will place the .class file of your Servlet to deploy it on a server
The root directory of Pure-FTPd, a popular FTP server, typically refers to the main directory from which the server serves files. This is usually specified in the configuration settings, often defaulting to /srv/ftp or /var/ftp, but it can be customized based on the server's setup. To determine the exact root directory for a specific installation, you can check the configuration files or the command-line options used when starting the server.
A static web page contains all of the displaying content without having to make calls into a program or database. Static web pages may consist of HTML, javascript, CSS, and text with embedded URLs for images and other linked content [such as images]. These pages generally reside within the root level of a web server but may be placed elsewhere on the server if configured for it. On a LINUX server, static web pages are typically located in the /var/www/ directory. However, if the server is configured for it, pages may also rest in /users/whatever_user_name/ directory - or some other directory. You should consult with your server administrator to determine where your static web pages go.

You Run a Servlet by deploying it on the server, which in this case is tomcat. We need to deploy the servlet in the Web Applications context. When we talk of a Web application's context, we are referring to that Web application's root directory or path within a particular server. A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named WEB-INF. This directory contains all things related to the application that aren't in the document root of the application. It is this WEB-INF directory that is the Web application's root directory, also referred to as the context. The most important file here is web.xml, the name of the WebApp deployment descriptor. Let us take a look at the various contents (files & folders) that will be present inside this WEB-INF directory: 1. /WEB-INF/web.xml - This is the Deployment Descriptor file 2. /WEB-INF/classes/ - This is the directory where all your java class files will be placed 3. /WEB-INF/lib/ - This is the folder where all your JAR files go. my tomcat is installed in c:\dev\java\Jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1. This is my TOMCAT_HOME. Remember that, this path that is referred by TOMCAT_HOME might vary from PC to PC depending on the installation preferences of the user. To Deploy the Servlet, you need to place the .class file corresponding to your servlet in the /WEB-INF/classes/ folder
