Stock up on JSP 404 error. JSP could not be located.

Hi Guys,

I could not see the error on this problem... Why it could not locate my jsp? I am using NET Beans IDE and TOMCAT 7.012

http://localhost:8080/Beer-v3/WEB-INF/jsp/result.jsp

HTTP Status 404 - /Beer-v3/ result.jsp

type Status report

message /Beer-v3/ result.jsp

description The requested resource (/Beer-v3/ result.jsp ) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.12

here is the servlet:

My JSP

You cannot access a resource under WEB-INF via URL.

RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher(" result.jsp ");

What's with the spaces?

Hi,

So where should i place it?

Index.jsp is found on WEB-INF/JSP so I place my result.jsp there. So where should i place it? The spaces is what i am doing to see if my jsp will be found or not. spaces or no spaces, it could not found my result jsp.

Having it under WEB-INF is fine as long as you are forwarding to it from a servlet. But you cannot access it directly without the servlet -- which is usually exactly what you want.

No spaces. But you need to include the path to the JSP. Otherwise how would its location be known?

Hi,

Something like I am super new to this... sorry for the question...

RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("WEB-INF/JSP/result.jsp "); ?

Thanks,
Vic

Need the leading slash, and no space!

Hi,

Still the same....

HTTP Status 404 - /Beer-v3/WEB-INF/JSP/result.jsp

type Status report

message /Beer-v3/WEB-INF/JSP/result.jsp

description The requested resource (/Beer-v3/WEB-INF/JSP/result.jsp) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.12

Inside of the doPost Method..

String c = request.getParameter("color");
BeerExpert be = new BeerExpert();
List result = be.getBrands(c);

request.setAttribute("styles", result);

RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/JSP/result.jsp");

view.forward(request, response);

Hi,

I had solve the problem...

I transfered result.jsp to the main folder from Web pages/WEB-INF/JSP to Web pages/result.jsp. the problem with that is that I think it is better to place it in JSP folder? But how would you do it?

RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("/Web Pages/WEB-INF/jsp/result.jsp");
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/jsp/result.jsp");

code above does not work....

Vic
