Thank you Juha. The <c:url value='/AuthLogin'/>" works nicely. -----Original Message----- From: Juha Laiho [mailto:juha.la...@iki.fi] Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 8:49 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: Tomcat not seeing servlet

And below I'll somewhat repeat what Konstantin already explained, but perhaps in a little bit different way. The url-patterns you set in web.xml are relative to the application (context) root: >> <servlet-mapping> >> <servlet-name>AuthLoginServlet</servlet-name> >> <url-pattern>/AuthLogin</url-pattern> >> </servlet-mapping> .. which means that the full URL for the above servlet will be http://server:port/contextroot/AuthLogin However, URLs you set in jsp:s are "true" URLs, which means that the /AuthLogin in your jsp form is not relative to the application root: >> Login.jsp snippet: >> <form name="login" method="post" action="/AuthLogin"> ... /AuthLogin here refers to http://server:port/AuthLogin The proposed forms > <form name="login" method="post" action="AuthLogin"> > <form name="login" method="post" action="./AuthLogin"> would both refer to http://server:port/yourwebapp/path_to_Loginjsp/AuthLogin ... where, apparently the path_to_Loginjsp in your case has two levels of directories. To make either of the above forms work, your url-pattern for the AuthLoginServlet would have to be <url-pattern>/path_to_Loginjsp/AuthLogin</url-pattern> ... and this would pretty much be the easiest way to solve the problem; with this, your JSP could really have the form action as plain "AuthLogin". The JSTL tag library does also contain a tag "c:url", which helps in making URLs that refer to the application itself; that would be another solution if your application already uses JSTL.
