Resource not found error.

[Bob Hysell]

I am trying the jsp/servlet login tutorial at http://www.roseindia.net/jsp/loginbean.shtml
I am using the Orion Application Server.
When I run the app I get the following error:
500 Internal Server Error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource /PPR_TV/hello?username=&password= not found

I don't understand why it can't find 'hello' since web.xml has the following entry:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>login</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Finally, I have tried storing login.class in the WEB-INF\classes directory and the WEB-INF\classes\PPR_TV directory. Both locations yield the same error.
I just don't know what to try next so any help would be most welcome.

You servlet class looks suspect.

Firstly, class names should start with capitals. So Login, not login. (And either way, it's a poor name for a servlet).

Secondly, servlets must be in a package other than the default.

Fix these issues and let's see where we stand.

You might also want to find better tutorials. The site you are using is widely known to be poor.

Thanks for the feedback. I capitalized the Login class and put it in the logbean package but still have the same error.
Perhaps you could recommend a better tutorial?

Don't tell us what you did -- show us. (be sure to UseCodeTags)

Be sure to include the directory configuration in addition to the new web.xml entry.
