Do you have a <servlet-mapping> in your web.xml
Something like this might do for you(Change the "MyClass" value accordingly)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd";>
<web-app>
<display-name>MyClass</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyClass</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>MyClass</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyClass</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/MyClass</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Subject: new user: servlets dont run in new apps
what simple thing am i missing ?
(probably something in the documentation, but i havent
found it so far)
PROBLEM:
cannot get servlets to run in a NEW webapp. the ones that
come with tomcat work ok, except for the sample servlet in the
Developer's Guide. this built-in one doesnt run either:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/tomcat-docs/appdev/sample/web/hello
(gives: HTTP Status 404
The requested resource (/tomcat-docs/appdev/sample/web/hello) is not
available
As for my new apps:
- a simple html page in webapps\george runs ok
- a tomcat example jsp i modified and dropped into webapps/george/Jsp
runs fine.
called thusly:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/george/Jsp/geo_hello.jsp?yakittyyak
- i successfully copied/renamed/modified/compiled and ran a servlet
under
examples\WEB-INF\classes, even referenced it successfully in
examples\WEB-INF\web.xml like so :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>georghe</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>GeorgeHello</servlet-class>
</servlet>
works like a champ when called thusly:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/servlet/GeorgeHello?username=CletusT
or
http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/servlet/georghe?username=CletusT
BUT same GeorgeHello class servlet placed under
webapps\george\WEB-INF\classes
wont run. gives the dreaded 404
HTTP Status 404
The requested resource (/george/servlet/GeorgeHello) is not available
Have same problem with David Flanagan's (OReilly) javaexamples2
app (installed it from a .war file, tomcat extracted it).
JSPs run fine, servlets dont.
(george app directories were set up manually, but carefully.
have checked permissions/properties on the directories several
times. look the same as the examples app to me. )
thanks!
George
