problem in running servlet programs

[nishadinesh gupta]

Hi
i had problem in running my servlet programs. after starting the javawebserver and compiled the myservlet.java file and saved it to javawebserver2.0/servlets, i typed in browser
http://localhost:8080/servlet/myservelt
but it was giving me "Not Found (404) error"

The same program is running on my friends PC.

Please suggest me some remedie to this its quite urgent.

Thanks

Hi,

Make sure that your servlet has mapping in your deployment descriptor (web.xml) as in:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>My Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>xxx.servlets.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>My Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/myServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

With this mapping, you can invoke your servlet as:

http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet

HTH.

javawebserver2.0?

Why are you using something so antiquated?
