Hi Goow,

Your question is not clear. I was able to access the link you pasted and I did not get any error. In case, it is throwing error in your local setup, we need to inspect the project setup. What is your project setup?

hmmm i am not expert at servlets and stuffand i do not really understand what you are saying but anyway this is what i did.
Installed Apache Tomcat 5.5
wrote and compiled this program with Classpath set

then copied the class file to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\servlets-examples\WEB-INF\classes
then i edited the web.xml file to include my servlet ,the i accessed it from firefox as http:\\localhost:8080\webapps\servlets-examples\HelloServlet
i got an error . the html page i posted in my last post
so i tried an online servlet http://webdev.apl.jhu.edu/servlet/hall.HelloWorld Java servlet .it also did not work!!!
i only get this

<html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/6.0.16 - Error report</title><style><!--H1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} H2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} H3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} BODY {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} B {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} P {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;}--></style> </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 404 - /servlet/hall.HelloWorld</h1>

Hi Goutham,

I'm not sure, if there is any specific reason for using GenericServlet. If you are calling your servlet over HTTP, it is recommended to extend HttpServlet instead.

secondly, I see that you are trying to hit http:\\localhost:8080\webapps\servlets-examples\HelloServlet but, with an assumption that your context is servlets-examples and you mapped your servlet to * in web.xml

your link should be http://localhost:8080/servlet-examples/HelloServlet.

But again, the link "http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Servlet-Tutorial/" is fully accessible but not this "http://webdev.apl.jhu.edu/servlet/hall.HelloWorld". For the second link, we don't know how the project is deployed. You may check with the admin of that server and see how the project is setup.

We really need to see the contents of you web.xml to give you more help on this.

Also, in what package is you servlet or is it in default package?

I would not use default package. It can cause problems.

But your web.xml reveals at least one major issue. You do have the servlet definedbut you do not map it. Add this to mappings:

Also you have much unnecessary stuff in there (like the example filters and such) that may cause problems that prevent the application from deploying successfully. But try first mapping the servlet correctly as I stated above and see if it helps.

Hi Goutham,

the link which I provided is just a sample and it is fake. My intention was, your link should look something similar to that. As Ilari pointed out, start with his advice and slowly incorporate other filters, once you were able to establish the connection. I would advice you to start looking into a simple servlet application with out any filters or listeners, just to get the feeling and have it run successfully before you move on to other components. There are several sites where you can find "Hello World" servlets.

All the best.
