Error: Requested resource not available for Servlet

Expand Post »

Good Day,

When I run my servlet in my web browser, everything runs fine ... until i press one of the option buttons, Deposit, Withdraw or Balance, then i get the following error:

type Status report

message /servlet/HTMLBank

description The requested resource (/servlet/HTMLBank) is not available.

Here is the code as well. What am I missing? Why are my buttons not working?

Re: Error: Requested resource not available for Servlet

This is because HTML doesn't know anything about your servlet project. Is the name of your project "servlet"? If no, then you need to specify the name of your Servlet project since you are specifying the absolute URL in the `action' attribute of your FORM.

BTW, the reason for the error is pretty simple; there is no resource mapped to the URL "/servlet/HTMLBank". How do you originally access the servlet which is working? How is your web.xml configured?
