I have a Servlet (with JSP's) which was created using NetBeans, and I did use the
appropriate hierarchy.
When I run the servlet using the NetBeans Internal Tomcat version 4.0.4
the Servlet and JSP pages work fine. However, when I create a WAR file and let Tomcat
do the Auto Deploy and
try to run under Tomcat 4.1.18 the servlet fails. The first page is just a JSP
and it is displayed okay but it then posts to my Servlet and it immediately returns
to the initial page. My error page is not displayed. I can't find anything in the
log files.
It appears the problem might be related to the url-pattern.
In my web.xml file I have the following:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SAWSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/SAWSServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Running Tomcat 4.0.4 from within netbeans the URL which it successfully posts to after
the logon
screen looks as follows:
http://localhost:8081/SAWSServlet?action=logon&UserId=test&Password=test
Under Tomcat 4.1.18 the URL which it tries to post to after logon has an extra "/"
after the servlet name and
before the query string parameters:
http://localhost:8080/SAWSServlet/?action=logon&UserId=test&Password=test
Can anyone explain why I'm getting the extra "/" after the sevlet name? I'm
wondering if there is a setting in the server.xml or web.xml for the whole Tomcat
install that is different in 4.1.18 than the Netbeans Internal version of Tomcat
4.0.4.
TIA for any help!
Randy
