Hi

Can you please help me. Java, servlets, tomcat...


So, I have servlets and my browser says;

"Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."

my url is

...tomcat/me/mything/servlet/MovieServlet

but a browser shows ...tomcat/steve/mything, no problem there.

But I think this web.xml is not correct, what is wrong? ;

Hi,

You have written <servlet-mapping> on web.xml. when you giving url, it matches on url-pattern on servlet-mappting, then call corresponding servlet. You have mentioned servlet name as "invoker" on servlet mapping, but there is no one servlet in the name of invoker in web.xml

Hi. Thanks! Indeed, I removed invoker. And now web.xml is like;



And now a browser says;




What on earth is still wrong?

This is incorrect:



Please create a conventional package for your class, e.g.:



Doing this will prevent conflicts with other container resources, etc...

If you don't understand how to create packages, go here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/package/packages.html

Hi. Thanks.

Well, I did a package earlier and that didn't work. So I don't want to do that again.
Browser showed url before and classes were not in a package, so package isn't necessary.
But thank you for that advice, too!

But what about that path



should it be:




well, same result with that. I'm so frustrated. This will ever again work, that's how I feel.

Then you will never, ever, get it to work. Ever.

Servlet classes must be in a package. The class declaration must identify that package. The mapping must identify the servlet.

Anything else is a complete waste of time.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet


This tells me that you've hosed your Tomcat installation. Have you removed any jar files?

James,

I think you are confusing Java packages with URLs. These are different.
When you create your Servlet class, that class (with a .java source file) needs to be defined in a Java package other than the default (no package). This means that in the beginning of the source file, you need to include a package line like:

Then, in the web.xml file, your <servlet-class> element would be

Thank you all! Great answers. Well, there are not .jar anywhere in tomcat/

all right, a package is necessary. But indeed, in the autumn, I had two servlets
and my browser opened them ( both url's worked ) and they weren't in a package.


now a browser shows ...tomcat/steve/mything
but NOT servlets.

so, in every class I will type a ( for example ) code:




and I do a folder and name it "testing" and put it in
WEB-INF/classes
And inside that folder I will
put all classes, .java-files and build.xml.

and in the web.xml file, <servlet-class> would be




and a mapping would be;

If so, your Tomcat is hosed and nothing will ever work.

If Tomcat 5, you should have a bunch of jars in the common/lib and server/lib folders.

If Tomcat 6, you should have a bunch of jars in the lib folder.

If not, what happened to them?

You'll need to set up Tomcat again. Without a valid installation, there is no hope.

all right, a package is necessary. But indeed, in the autumn, I had two servlets
and my browser opened them ( both url's worked ) and they weren't in a package.


Sometimes it will work; most often it will not. Are you a gambling man?

I see. Sounds critical... Well, Tomcat is 5.5...
So I should have a bunch of jars in the common/lib and server/lib folders.

What .jars? I don't know, maybe I deleted them by accident.

So I will delete tomcat and after that type in sql "setup tomcat" ?


No, gambling is not good. I want to get this work.

It sounds like you're having a hard time getting the basics down. May I please recommend a set of tutorials which may be of help to you? Please have a look at http://courses.coreservlets.com/Course-Materials/csajsp2.html That page has lots of great links. Also, see the following URL: http://pdf.coreservlets.com/ This provides access to chapters of the book Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Second Edition for free download in PDF format.

Best Regards,

Hi. Thank you for your answers! I think these are ( tomcat 5.5... ) what I need;

in common/lib

these files;

commons-el.jar
jasper-compiler.jar
jasper-compiler.jdt.jar
jasper-runtime.jar
jsp-api.jar
naming-factory.jar
naming-factory-dbcp.jar
naming-resources.jar
servlet-api.jar

in server/lib

these files;

catalina.jar
catalina-ant.jar
catalina-ant-jmx.jar
catalina-cluster.jar
catalina-optional.jar
catalina-storeconfig.jar
commons-modeler.jar
servlets-cgi.renametojar
servlets-default.jar
servlets-invoker.jar
servlets-ssi.renametojar
servlets-webdav.jar
tomcat-ajp.jar
tomcat-apr.jar
tomcat-coyote.jar
tomcat-http.jar
tomcat-jkstatus-ant.jar
tomcat-util.jar


So, can I just put these files and see what my browser says? Or what else will I have to do?

Thanks. Here's everything that I can now think about this whole thing.

I thought that this massive all.zip ( and I have put it in WEB-INF/lib )
would be enough. It contains the following;

three folders;

- javax/sql, which has many .class- files
- META-INF, which has MANIFEST.MF
- oracle, this folder has many folders;
core
jdbc
jpub
net
security
sql

And all those 6 folders contain something, I can list
them later, if it helps. I don't have folders;
common/lib and server/lib.

I think that this all.zip covers those .jars,
and this all.zip is all what I need. ??


This is my whole path that I can/am allowed use;

/home/me/tomcat/webapps/mything/WEB-INF/ and inside
WEB-INF there are four folders;

classes ( this contains .class- files, .java- files and build.xml )
lib ( this contains that all.zip )
src ( empty )
web.xml



and
I added that line in web.xml ( but I haven't made a package yet! ) and it is now like this;



but browser said same thing, so there were no changes. Thanks anyway.


But I believe you and I will have to do that package;


So, in every class I will type a ( for example ) code:




and I do a folder and name it "testing" and put it in
WEB-INF/classes

and then web.xml would be like this;



Are there still errors or are these finally correct?

If I make all these changes, maybe
it isn't necessary to set up Tomcat again?
