Re: simple HelloWorld example - 404
Where is your web.xml located? And if it is located inside foo/WEB-INF/ then have you tried accessing the servlet when you remove the web.xml? Scott D. Anderson wrote: I'm a novice and I'm working through the Tomcat documentation. (I'm using Tomcat 5.) I've gotten to step 3, http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/appdev/deployment.html I'd previously compiled the HelloWorld example from the O'Reilly book on Java Servlet Programming by Hunter. I then wanted to run it from the browser, so I set up something like the servlets-examples that also has a HelloWorldExample, so I did the following: 1. created a foo directory under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps 2. created a WEB-INF directory under foo 3. created a classes directory under WEB-INF 4. copied the HelloWorld.java and HelloWorld.class files to the classes directory and made them world readable. 5. chmod all directories 755 6. created a web.xml file from tomcat-docs/appdev/web.xml.txt 7. created an index.html file under foo that has a hyperref to servlet/HelloWorld 8. restarted Tomcat I checked the log files and I've eliminated the parsing errors for the web.xml file. I'm able to visit the index.html file, but when I click on the link to servlet/HelloWorld I get a 404. Note that the web.xml.txt file says that I should be able to execute my servlet just by accessing localhost:8080/foo/servlet/HelloWorld, yet I'm not able to do so. I think that means that the problem isn't in my web.xml file (even though that's the most complicated and error-prone step). I also tried putting the HelloWorld.* files in webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes, as directed in the Hunter book, but that didn't work either (404). Anyone have any ideas on how to get this very simple example working? Thanks, Scott -- Scott D.
