I have installed Tomcat 5.0.25 . I am trying to create a web application, but having trouble deploying servlets.
I have created the required directory structure in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory...namely examples/WEB-INF/classes.
Also I added
<Context path="/examples" docBase="examples" debug="0"
reloadable="true"></Context>
within the 'host' element of the server.xml file.
To test I placed a simple html file in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/examples directory, and that worked fine.
Now, to test servlets, I placed a simple HelloWorld servlet class file in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/examples /WEB-INF/classes directory. I also shutdown adn restarted the server, but teh servlet doesnt work when I point my browser to
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloWorld.
I get following message:
The requested resource (/examples/servlet/HelloWorld) is not available.
I have read about adding a <servlet> element to the web.xml file in WEB-INF directory. I did that too. But that didnt help. The web.xml file I have in /examples/WEB-INF/ now looks las follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
<web-app> </web-app>
I remember in a previous installation of Tomcat (someone else and installed it) I had a webapplication directory, similar to the 'examples' directory above, and could place my class files in the classes directory, without adding any entry into the web.xml file, and the servlets would work fine .
Can anyone see what I have done wrong..why wont my servlets work?
Thanks in advance, Swapna
