HFS: Problems with running SelectBeer.do servlet

[kavya krushi]

Hello folks,

I am seeing a wierd problm when i tried to deploy the servlet. I am able to see the form.html with out any problm ... but when i click the Submit, i am getting a FileDownload box which says that

"You have chosen to download a file from this location

SelectBeer.do from localhost"

and then it gives me an option to either "open the file from the current location" or "save it to the disk". When I have chose the former option it
gave me another dialog with a list of applications that can be used to open the file ... I have selected Internet Explorer and then it brought up a page which displayed the following

Beer Selection Advice <br>
<br>Got Beer Color dark

I am not sure why this is happenning ... I am new to all this web stuff ... I really appreciate it much if some can help me understand thsi problem ...

Thanks and Regards
Kavya

Can you show the contents of your wen.xml, and you can try the following web.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">

<!-- servlet mappings start -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Ch3 Beer</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.example.web.BeerSelect</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Ch3 Beer</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/SelectBeer.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Thanks for the response Peter ... Here are the contents of my web.xml ... I just typed everything from HFS & JSP ...

  
 
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
     version="2.4">
     
     <servlet>
       <servlet-name>Ch3 Beer</servlet-name>
       <servlet-class>com.example.web.BeerSelect</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     
     <servlet-mapping>

I had mistyped the arg for setContentType method in my doPost metohd. Instead of "text/html", i had "type/html". Once i changed that, things started working great ...

Thanks & Regards,
