Hi Folks...

I am getting the following error when I click on the submit buttin of my form:


HTTP Status 404 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message

descriptionThe requested resource () is not available.





I believe this could be something which people encounter regularly. I am not able to figure out why I am getting this. The the form 'action' in jsp is pointing to the correct servlet I want and in the web.xml file, the servlet is declared as well...yet I am gettting this error...The codes are as follows:

sysuserBookingForm.jsp


sysuserBookingFormServlet


web.xml



I really hope someone can advise. Thanks..

Please IsolateTheProblem instead of posting the whole lengthy code of your Servlet.

For now, what I can guess is, your problem might be with the following statement

request.getRequestDispatcher("bookingConfirmed.jsp").forward(request, response);

Are you sure that bookingConfirmed.jsp exists? Also, you may also want to insert a forward-slash at the beginning:
/bookingConfirmed.jsp

That statement is never processed. You are sending a POST request and the doPost() in the code that you posted, doesn't lead to that statement.

Hi Jaikiran Pai ..

Thanks for pointing it out to me. I am still having the problem and I now suspect it's something to do with the folders. All I want to do now is just to make sure that the servlet gets called and writes "This is a test" when the submit button is clicked on the form.

My folder structure is as follows:




I realise that if I were to place sysuserBookingForm.jsp outside the 'sysuser' folder(as in within the Webpages folder but not under any subfolder), and run the project, the form opens up and I click on the submit button, the servlet is invoked and "This is a test" appears in the browser, which is exactly what I want. However this dosen't happen when the sysuserBookingForm.jsp is within the sysuser folder. Do I have to make changes to the form action? I tried the following, this:


was changed to this:


It still gives me the same error. What then is the correct way to call/invoke the servlet from a jsp file that is located in a subfolder of the WebPages folder?

You action should be a server-relative URL, beginning with the context path that matches the mapping of the servlet. Anything else will not work.
