Deploying servlets
I already asked this question in web tier forum, but I didn't get a straight forward answer. =)
How can I know that the hosting website support java?
For what I know is that, with tomcat enabled a can just dump the servlet .class in one of it folder, and just run it like http://localhost:8080/... Or just I have to take the .war file and deployed it and that it.
Am working with netbean and it did create for me the war file, but when I uploaded it, nothing happened. Anything ideas will be appreciated.

I'm sorry, but why don't ask them?
i like this forum.. new to java...
I'm sorry, but as I said in the first reply, why don't you ask them?
Asking them would, at least, immediately remove any potential confusion about whether it is possible at all, and let you actually concentrate on the problem, if it is possible. Until you find out that information (and you get that information easiest, quickest, and most reliably, by asking them) you are "chasing ghosts"/"going on a wild goose chase".
I repeat, ask them, or at least give us a good reason why you don't.
There is no way that you can look at the name of a web hosting company, and determine from that alone whether they support servlets.
However, if you look at their advertising and web site, they may tell you whether they do. Also note that they might have different tiers of service, where some more expensive tiers allow for servlets and cheaper ones do not.
You can also call them, as already suggested (twice).
But if you don't like those options...I'm told the ancient romans would examine the entrails of freshly-killed birds to divine the will of the gods or to look into the future. Maybe that also works with web hosting companies.
Im very sorry masijade, i didn't understand your question, really sorry!
I asked them, they told me that they already enabled the tomcat, and this is my first time im uploading a servlet in real environment. I uploaded first this .class it return error 404, and again i uploaded the .war file still same error.
Do i need anything to do with descriptor?

Oh nooo roman, ok i am repeating again, they told me they enabled tomcat, hehehe but i dont believe them. so that why i need some clues before i stumbled into trouble.
paulw did you ever uploaded a file?
Make sure that the web.xml file you deliver with your upload is corectly configured. Deploy it to a local tomcat first, to see if it works, then try uploading it to your hosting service.
Also take a look at your server logs. They may contain helpful info.Yes, I have uploaded files.

Can you tell me which tools are you using, just an idea.
Are you uploading .war and web.xml?
Because other website do have tomcat deployer.
When I upload a file I use scp.I don't use Tomcat.

I use Verio for web hosting but I think I was grandfathered into a package that they don't sell anymore.
scp is "secure copy" and it's something you can do with "ssh", which stands for "secure shell".
There's an O'Reilly book about SSH, I think. Plus tons of information on the web.
Google is your friend.
