link html to controller

[Cecilia Stesser]

Hi
I want to link a jsp page to a controller, but it doesent work. I�m greatful for all the help I can get.

Here is the link code from the jsp:
<a href = "Logout"> Logout </a>

Here is the code from the controller:

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

HttpSession session = request.getSession();

String loggedOut = "/pages/loggedout_text.jsp";

RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher(loggedOut);
view.forward(request, response);
System.out.println("Hej");
session.invalidate();
}

Here is the code from from the loggedout_text.jsp:
Error
<p />
You are logged out.

What doesn't work?
What errors are you seeing?
What IS happening?

I am not getting any error messages, just a blank page.

But I know that my jsp sight doesent get a connection with the controller (Logout) page, because my sysos in the Logout isnt even written out.

I have checked my xml and that seems to work fine.

The first thing I do when I see a blank page is use the browser's 'view source' feature to look at what's really coming from the server, if anything.

Often this a simple HTML error like a missing quote or a script tag that wasn't closed properly.

<a href = "Logout"> Logout </a>

That doesn't look like a properly formed URL to your servlet to me.

How did you map the servlet in web.xml?
