this how the way ..
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\ROOT
then put ur files u want .. but if u want to put it in folder u need to put the web-inf inside this folder ,, u will find this web-inf in the root folder just copy and paste it on the folder ..
when u will use tomcat.. there is 2 ways .. if u just put ur files in ROOT then u just write
http://localhost:8080(u have to check ur host num maybe its 8081)/(write the html )
eg.
http://localhost:8080/dbinsert.html
the 2nd way if its in a folder and u named example the folder "me" the it will be like this
http://localhost:8080/me/dbinsert.html
