Help with web.xml: url-pattern

[Alex Joyce]

Hi.. \0/

I have a question, would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

My servlet is placed here:

WEB-INF/classes/image_servlet/ImageServlet.class

Deployed in Tomcat 5.0 at context path: /ImageEncrypt

Here is the web app element of my web.xml, I think it must be incorrect?

<web-app>
<display-name>Image Encrypt</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ImageServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ImageServlet </servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ImageServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/image_servlet/ImageServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>


Do I need to add the context path to url-pattern?
Could someone tell me if this is correct?

Many thanks.

- Remove space in "Image Encrypt" like "ImageEncrypt".
- Your servlet-class should be a fully qualified name like, com.servlet.ImageServlet
- According to the naming convention change "image_servlet" to "servlet" or "imageservlet"
