hi everyone,
I'm having trouble running servlets which are in a directory i created.
Details:
System: Win95
Tomcat Version: 4.0
Problem:
I created a new directory in called "kp"
"install_dir/webapps" folder. I also created WEB-INF and classes dirctories
(install_dir/webapps/kp/WEB-INF/classes).
I wrote a small servlet program and kept the .class file in classes folder.
I also wrote the xml file and kept it in WEB-INF folder.
xml file-------------------
<?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_2.dtd";>
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
end of xml file---------------------------
when i'm trying to access from browser like this
http://localhost/kp/hello OR
http://localhost/kp/HelloWorldServlet
the browser is displaying the file not found page.
(i changed the port no. to 80 in server.xml file)
(i also inserted <DefaultContext reloadable="true"/> in server.xml)
What am i missing here? And wat really beats me is i downloaded a bookstore
example from java.sun.com in
.war format. When i placed it in the reqd folder the folders WEB-INF,
classes etc were automatically created
(install_dir/webapps/bookstore/WEB-INF/classes)
and it is working fine. Now I tried moving my HelloWorldServlet.class file
into classes folder of bookstore and made necessay changes to xml file of
bookstore in
install_dir/webapps/bookstore/WEB-INF/web.xml
and i'm able to run the helloworld servlet using
http://localhost/bookstore/hello
I'm also able to run the servlet when i put the class file in
install_dir/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes
and using http://localhost/servlet/hello.
Why am i not able to run when the file are in the folder i created. Kindly
help me with this problem.
If this prob has been addressed before kindly provide pointers
Thank you
kp
