Invoke Servlet Without changing web.xml

[Pankaj Patel]

Hello 2 All.

I am supposed to change a one jsp with is submitted to one servlet. Now i don't have right to change web.xml and register servlet. They told me to invoke servlet directly.

My Servlet Package : cyberoam.whitepapers.servlets;
And my context : cyberoam
Tomcat : 5.5 installed on 10081 port

so i am able to run my application on local machine using follwing url.

http://cyberoam:10081/jsp/whitepapers/whitepapers.jsp

Problem occur when i submit whitepapers.jsp
The form tag of this jsp is as follows.

<form action="/cyberoam/servlet/cyberoam.whitepapers.servlets.WhitePaperInfoServlet" 
method="POST" 
name="whitepapers">

Error :
Address bar : http://cyberoam:10081/cyberoam/servlet/cyberoam.whitepapers.servlets.WhitePaperInfoServlet

Error Description:
HTTP Status 404 - /cyberoam/servlet/cyberoam.whitepapers.servlets.WhitePaperInfoServlet

So could any one please tell me how to resolve this problem?

Please use real words when posting to the forums. Using "2" rather than "to" only makes your posts harder to read.

You can not invoke servlets directly in Tomcat 5x.
Tomcat does have an invoker but it has been disabled for years.

Nice story the invoker servlet. I'm convinced not to use it.
