HFSJ p.171-176 example need help

[Louie Cheung]

http://localhost:8080/listenerTest/ListenTest.do
this is the error i got in the browser:

HTTP Status 404 - /listenerTest/ListenTest.do
type Status report
message /listenerTest/ListenTest.do
description The requested resource (/listenerTest/ListenTest.do) is not available.

---------

i compiled the three classes Dog.java, ListenerTester.java, MyServletContextListener.java successfully under C:/Tomcat5/webapps/listenerTest/WEB-INF/classes/com/example
and also web.xml under WEB-INF

what seems to be the problem?

Can you show how you mapped ListenTest.do in your web.xml ?

Open your web.xml thru Explorer.Can you see the full content?Or is there anything missing?

[Christophe Verré]

Also check the log of your container. You might have deployment errors.

how do i view web.xml in explorer?

I think that Kathir meant opening web.xml in Explorer using the File/Open menu.

how do i view log?

If you are using Tomcat, you'll find logs in the "logs" directory of your Tomcat installation directory.
Which container are you using ?

Just type this in explorer address bar to open the xml file...
C:\Tomcat5\webapps\listenerTest\WEB-INF\web.xml
