not able to deploy to tomcat server

[sathya]

I have developed my whole application in GWT in eclipse. I have tested
in hosted mode.Evertthing works fine. Now I need to deploy into tomcat
server on my machine. So using eclipse, I have compiled the whole
project successfully. WAR directory got generated. I have zipped this
war file and renamed with extension .war and placed this in webapps
directory of tomcat server.

When I use localhost:8080 URL,firstpage opens successfully.(tomcat is
able to unzip this).However none of RPC calls work. I am stuck with
this problem from past 1 week. I tried all possible ways posted on web
but nothing seems to work.

I tried to compile the starter application shipped with GWT and placed
on tomcat. Even this is not working with RPC calls.

I am not sure what settings I need to do on my tomcat. 

Can you please suggest me detailed steps to deploy starter application
shipped with GWT on tomcat using eclipse?

later I can map the same to my application.

Can anyone help please?

There's a section on deployment in following tutorial (on using Servlets with GWT). It does not create a war file there but deployed as an exploded archive.

HTH.

Is this a shared tomcat server? Something I experienced and several
other people who've e-mailed me experienced is that some shared TOMCAT
servers require certain prefixes for tomcat to actually handle the
servlet request. For instance, all my RPC calls have to have /servlet
in it or TOMCAT ignores them and web.xml is never used.

Also, let us know what the error is when you try to use your RPC.
