HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL

[Sherif Mahmoud]

Hi,

I was doing the example in Head First Servlets and JSP of context listener.

Here is the servlet class:

public class ListenerTester extends HttpServlet {

@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
resp.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out=resp.getWriter();

out.println("test context attributes set by listener <br>");
out.println("<br>");

Dog dog=(Dog)getServletContext().getAttribute("dog");

out.println("Dog's breed is: "+dog.getBreed());
super.doGet(req, resp);
}

}

Although the doGet is implemented I keep getting HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL from FireFox.

can anybody tell me what can be wrong.

Thanks,

Sherif

Post the URL you are trying to access.

Thanks for your reply. I found that I had a problem with my class files location under the application directory under webapps. That caused errors during the servlet startup. I got it working now.

Thanks,
