The requested resource (/servcart/Welcome) is not available.

Hi,

Apache Tomcat/7.0.5
Java version
C:\Java Dev\Project Shopping Cart>java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\Java Dev\Project Shopping Cart>

I am getting the message "The requested resource (/servcart/Welcome) is not available."

I used ant to build servcart.war and deployed it to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps. When I start Tomcat it extracts the war file contents into C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\servcart with the correct packages.

The war file includes package com.ordering were Welcome.class servlet exists.

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\servcart\WEB-INF\web.xml contents include
<servlet> <servlet-name>Welcome</servlet-name> <servlet-class>Welcome</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Welcome</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/com.ordering.Welcome</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>

All was fine using folders, but when I added the war file process I started getting the error.

Can someone please show me where I went wrong?

Disregard, I got it.

Package identification goes in <servlet-class>, not <url-pattern>.

Doh!

Now I'm getting ClassNotFoundException: com.ordering.Welcome.

You should have a file: WEB-INF/classes/com/ordering/Welcome.class.

If it's not located there and you're not packaging the class in a JAR located in WEB-INF/lib, the class won't be found.

Please remember that both class and filenames are case-sensitive, even in Windows, where the OS itself disregards filename case.

Thank you Tim!
