The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource

[tangara goh]

Dear experts,

I run into this error which I have been solving for hours but to no avail.

Hope someone can give m a clue how to diagnose on this problem and how to go about resolve the error.

The error is :

HTTP Status 404 - Not Found
The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.

This is the first time I got this error.  Please help.
Tks.

It seems you forgot to tell us anything at all about the context in which you saw this message.

404 means page not found. So you have the wrong URL, your page isn't up, your app isn't started. It could be anything. We will need more info to be helpful.

Sorry but here's the infor :

Eclipse Neon 3
Java 8
Java EE 3.0
Tomcat 8.0.25

Here's my web.xml :

<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee 
         http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
         version="3.1">
  <display-name>Hi5S</display-name>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>tutorRegister.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>  
</web-app>

jsp :

<form name="tutorRegister" method="POST" action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/addTutor" id="contactForm" novalidate>

Sevlet ;


@WebServlet("/tutorController")
public class tutorController extends HttpServlet {


Hope you could tell me where have I gone wrong.

Tks.

Which URL are you trying to access? What is the name of the web app?

[Rob Spoor]

Your form action is /addTutor but you haven't defined it anywhere. Your servlet is mapped to /tutorController, and you don't have any servlets in your web.xml file.

Hi Rob,

From my understanding, if Java EE 3.0 and above is used, as in my case, then there is no need to define servlet in web.xml.

Can you tell me where about should I put /addTutor in the web.xml ?

Hope to hear from you soon.

[Tim Moores]

You don't need to add anything, but you do need to have matching names - either "addTutor" or "tutorController", but not declaring one and then using the other.

hi Can you help me out. I am following a tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6L7uX-o930&list=PL73qvSDlAVVhIVQX7d36glpQllxCIxEyR&index=7, which asks to create an index.xhtml page. I have followed all the instructions but I keep getting the following error - "the origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists." Below you will find the web.xml I am using. I make the call to the webpage using : http://localhost:8080/PlantPlaces and then get the error
