HTTP Status 404 - /Beer-v1/form.html

Hello everyone,

I have a problem when I trying to open form.html file.
I installed Tomcat 5.5 and when I run tomcat I can see welcome page.

Tomcat5/webapps/Beer-v1/WEB_INF/web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">

<servlet>
<servlet-name>Ch3 Beer</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.example.web.BeerSelect</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Ch3 Beer</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/SelectBear.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

Tomcat5/webapps/Beer-v1/form.html:

<html><body>
<h1 align="center">Beer Selection Pages</h1>
<form method="POST"
action="SelectionBeer.do"
Select beer characteristics<p>
Color:
<select name="color" size="1">
<option value="light"> light </option>

Please help. Thank you in advance.

What URL are you using to access form.html? And what error are you getting?

Thank you for your quick response.

Is the context even running? Use the Tomcat Manager app to find ut.

See the Tomcat FAQ if you don't already have the Manager app configured.

i think there is a little error in html coding part
you didnot use '>' in form line
<form...............
..................where is '>'
but besides that there is some more error which is not making you open this page
do one thing if you are able to see the welcome page on entering http://localhost:8080/ then your tomcat is configured rightly
use the latest version of tomcat as it has removed many bugs of previous versions

i think your form.html is not a html file actually its a notepad file with name form.html
do you get a webpage on opening it directly by double clicking it??
if yes then do the following thing
write the following code in a notepad file and click save as
there name it as form.html and in type press "all files" and then save it
in tomcat webapps directory make a new folder t and paste the above form.html file in t
now start tomcat and open the link http://localhost:8080/t/form.html
now it should open.
code

<html>
<h1 align ="center">this is a page</h1>
<form method="post"
action ="selecttea.do">
select tea characteristics<p>
color:
<select name ="color" size="1">
<option value="light"> light </option>
<option value="amberr"> amberr </option>
<option value="orange"> orange </option>
<option value="green"> green </option>
</select>
<br><br>
<center>
<input type="submit">
</center>
</form>
</body>
</html>
dont define any xml file thats dd or anything else this is just to check your form.html
remember the form.html should appear to you as only form(without the html extension) in the t directory after saving
