Re: Newbee question on servlet and html - Really frustated with this problem.
thanks everybody. I could solve the problem. There was a typo in my response text. When I changed the following line response.setContentType(test/html); with response.setContentType(text/html); It jus worked like a charm. thanks !

Did you define your servlet in your WEB-INF/web.xml?

Re: Newbee question on servlet and html - Really frustated with this problem.
Two questions... (1) Does your servlet implement a doPost() method? Since you are POSTing the form, you need to do that. (2) Is there a typo in your form there? I see: form method=3DPOST action=3DBeerSelect That's not proper... my guess is you want: form method=3DPOST action=3DBeerSelect Frank Developer Developer wrote: does anybody know how to fix this problem.

Re: Newbee question on servlet and html - Really frustated with this problem.
I think you are getting this error because Tomcat doesn't realize you are trying to activate the servlet. You probably will need to look at your WEB-INF/web.xml of your web application. You'll need a servlet/ entry that defines BeerSelect and a servlet-mapping/ that ties BeerSelect to its actual url-pattern. (/VBeer/BeerSelect) You can look at the web.xml in the servlet-examples webapp that comes with Tomcat for sample definitions.
