HTTP Status 404 - /Ch03/

Hi, I am debugging a simple JSP example but I failed.
J2ee 1.4;j2se 6;Tomcat 6.0.10

Here is the directory structure

url http://localhost:80/Ch03
welcome.jsp

web.xml in C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.10\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\Ch03\WEB-INF

I have spent three days still not figured it out.
Could you please help me?
Thanks for any hint.

Why are you putting a web app inside the WEB-INF of another web app?

Place your web app in the webapps folder.

I place it in C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.10\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF It is still wrong.

I place it in
It is still wrong.

DON'T put it in the WEB-INF folder.

Put it in webapps.

It is placed in
Still wrong.
Is my web.xml right?
Or classpath wrong?

Thanks

you class file is not in a package,
you jsp page import Ch3.*;
but the class file in WEB-INF/class doesnt have a CH3 folder
make sure you use package for all you class

Try this.
Go to our CodeBarn, click to the servlets section, download SimpleServlet.war to your webapps directory.
Then, go to http://localhost:8080/SimpleServlet.

If that works, then you have a properly formatted web application with a deployment descriptor.

You can compare this to your application and see where you might have gone wrong.

Ben Souther's servlet does work.
But I still get the error

or

welcome.jsp

Thanks again.

change
<%@ page errorPage="/WEB-INF/errorPage.jsp"
import="java.util.Iterator,Ch03.FaqCategories" %>

to
<%@ page errorPage="/WEB-INF/errorPage.jsp" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Iterator,Ch03.FaqCategories" %>

try not add any business logic in your jsp, good design only uses JSp as a presentation layer.

Thanks for youe help, I have resloved it. Just change two lines

to

one line.
