ControllerServlet Not found

Hi,

I have a website www.simbiz2010.com when I try to press the login button on the leftcol it shows 404 Not Found- The resource requested could not be found on this server!

Please help as I don't know what is going on.. i have the web.xml allright I think so I don't really know what I'm missing.

Thanks very much.

regards,
J

Please TellTheDetails. It's hard to know what's going on without any details, tell us what are the components involved, mappings, how you invoke the servlet etc..

Post the relevant parts of the web.xml file, and tell us which URL you're trying to access, and the name of the web app context.

Hi,

website address is www.simbiz2010.com
The web is loading fine.. but when I click on the Login button it is said www.simbiz2010.com/ControllerServlet 404 NOT Found

I have public_html\WEB-INF\classes\ControllerServlet.class

This is my web.xml

Thank you.

Your WEB-INF should be directly inside the web application folder. And the web.xml should be directly inside the WEB-INF.

Yes.. I've already done that.

It works fine in my localhost:8080/

But when I deploy it in the actual web server it shows that 404 error.

Thank you.

public_html\WEB-INF\classes\ControllerServlet.class

What is the name of the context then?

http://localhost:8080/Simbiz2010/ if I open it from my PC

as in the web server I just put it in the root (/public_html)

Thanks.

What is the application server you are running? I suggest you put the application as a separate one.

That's unlikely to be the right place for a web app. What kind of server is this - does it actually support Java web apps?

It is UNIX apache with tomcat 5.5 installed.

But the jsp is loading fine.. so does this mean the server does not support the servlet ?
is the jsp and servlet are two different things ? ( if jsp is loading fine than the servlet should also be working ?)

sorry this is the first time I use jsp.

THank you.

As you are using Tomcat 5.5, It supports Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0.

is the jsp and servlet are two different things ?

Well, JSP is actually converted in to a servlet eventually. You will find lots of information on that on our FAQ's section as well as on the web.
Now where exactly you have put your web app in the server (that should be under the "webapp" directory of Tomcat) ?

based on your web.xml, you should keep your ControllerServlet class under the package controller (ie., ..\WEB-INF\classes\controller)

hey john...

you are getting this problem becuase your directory structure is not following the spec....

you kept your class direclty in classes folder under web-inf... and in DD you are telling that your class is in controller package... if you have used package in your class then just keep your .class file in package name controller and your problem wil get solved...
