Hi all,
I need to forward to a servlet in order to provide dynamic content,
pdf in this case.
I have a servlet in my webapp, named ats, and I am having trouble
getting it to run.
My action forward is like this:
<forward name = "TimeRecordFop" path="/TimeRecordFop.pdf" />
In web.xml I declare the servlet and its mapping as:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>TimeRecordFop</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.arraybiopharma.servlets.FopServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TimeRecordFop</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TimeRecordFop.pdf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
It servlet can be accessed by putting the url into the browser like
this:
http://mordor:7001/ats/TimeRecordFop.pdf and it works properly.
However from inside my Action class, when I forward to TimeRecordFop the
browser gives a 404 error,"The server has not found anything matching
the Request-URI. ".
Is it even possible to forward to a servlet? Is there a way to get
struts to print out the url it is forwarding to?
thanks
john
