Hello Friends,

I have problem running the servlet in Tomcat.

I have included servlet and servlet-mapping elements in the DD

Earlier I had not put the servlet in any package. I also tried putting the class file in a folder and giving it as its package name.

I created a webapps/trials dir and put all my stuff there.

Anyone knows what else can I check?

Im getting the famous
Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 - HTTP Status 404 - /trials/TestServlet error!

Regards,
leena

Exact error is - 'The requested resource (/trials/TestServlet) is not available.'

Hi Leena,

Make sure the following are in place.

i) All the Servlet classes are under webapps/trials/WEB-INF/classes directory.
ii) The DD web.xml is in webapps/trials/WEB-INF directory.

Regards,
Phani.

I have tried the same and for me it works. I have done the following:

1. Coded the servlet class TestServlet.java (Didn't use any package).
2. Compiled and placed it in webapps/trial/WEB-INF/classes/ directory.
3. Made following entries into webapps/trial/WEB-INF/web.xml file



4. Started the Tomcat 5.0.19 application.
5. Entered the following URL http://localhost:8080/trial/TestServlet

and Bingo!!! It works.

I believe, in your case there would have been some problem with the web.xml entries. Usually that's the place where most people make mistakes.

Hope it helps.

I was using tomcat 4.0 The problem was with the invoker servlet mapping in the conf/Web.xml file.

I have run the servlets with myApp/servlet/TestServlet URL instead of myApp/TestServlet
