Need help with Servlets

Expand Post »

I'm trying to step-up a simple servlet that processes a get action from a form.

When I click on the submit button I get the message.

Quote ...

HTTP Status 404 - /jhtp6/welcome1

type Status report

message /jhtp6/welcome1

description The requested resource (/jhtp6/welcome1) is not available.

Apache Tomcat/5.0.25

I also included an image of my file structure.

Here's the java code

and here's the html document code

           <input type = "submit" value = "Get HTML Document" />
        </label></p>
     </form>
  </body>
  </html>

Why do I get this message instead of the servlet response and how do I fix it.

Re: Need help with Servlets

Your servlet's .class file should be in WEB-INF/classes/ is that the case ?

Also once you move your servlets .class file there, you will need to either restart tomcat entirely or you will need to reload you application, by accessing the tomcat manager at http://localhost:8080/manager/html, for the URL I am assuming your tomcat is running on the same machine as you are working on and is configured to listen on port 8080 for requests

Re: Need help with Servlets

Change the html given by u and put the above. The <form action="/jhtp6/welcome1" method="get"> has been changed to <form action="welcome1" method="get">

Hope it works

Re: Need help with Servlets

Salamo Alaikum Knight

I had the same error as yours; mine was solved that way

instead of <form action = "/jhtp6/welcome1" method = "get" >
it has to be <form method = "get" action = welcome1 >

Hope it works
Please give me feed back
