Hey Guys.....I am new in web development and this was supposed to be my first Servlet but I am getting
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: servlets.HelloWorldServlet
Now in my Apache tomcat folder C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\webapps\ServletExamples I have the WEB-INF folder.....which has the web.xml....
Web.xml is something like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlets.HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlets.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/HelloWorldServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/LoginServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>The HelloWorldServlet.java is
package servlets;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet{
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException{
PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
pw.println("<html>");
pw.println("<head>");
pw.println("</head>");
pw.println("<body>");
pw.println("<h3>Hello World as a Servlet</h3>");
pw.println("</body>");
pw.println("</html>");
}
}and this is what I am writing on the url......
http://localhost:8080/ServletExamples/HelloWorldServlet
and I am assuming that the problem is coming in the <servlet-class> in the fully qualified name....
So I decided to make a classes folder in the WEB-INF folder and copy all my .class files and .java files in it.....
after this I am still getting the same error....
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: servlets.HelloWorldServlet
and when I refresh it again it gives me a different error....which is
type Status report
message Servlet HelloWorldServlet is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet HelloWorldServlet is not available) is not available.
So how can anybody help me out in starting my carrier in the servlets...
Thanks in advance
Regards
