RE: Cannot Run Servlets, only JSP's, Part II (Attn: Mark)

Mark,

Thank you, that sounds like exactly what it could be.  And I'd prefer to do
it the RIGHT way, explicitly mapping out each servlet.

Just one question:  WHICH web.xml file?  There's one in:

$CATALINA_HOME/conf/

and one in 

$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/

Will one override the other?

The invoker servlet is commented out by default in
4.1x.  Anonymous servlets are considered a security
risk.

There are at least three ways to manage this problem.

1. Uncomment the following in your Tomcat's web.xml
file.

    <!-- The mapping for the invoker servlet -->
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

This maps the invoker servlet and allows anonymous
servlets in your application.  Read the documentation
concerning the security issues, and also know that
this is a nonstandard feature of Tomcat.

2. Use the invoker servlet only in your web
application.  This has the same ramifications as the
first solution, but constrained to a single
application.  Add the following to your
/<app-name>/WEB-INF/web.xml

<!-- for anonymous servlets -->
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

3. Add each and every servlet to the web.xml file,
complete with a URL mapping.  This is the preferred
way.  Here is an example.

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>example1</servlet-name>
    <display-name>example1</display-name>
    <servlet-class>myclasses.example1</servlet-class>
  </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>example1</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>servlet/example1</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

/mde/

just my two cents . . . .

Sorry - I was out for a bit and was a bit generic.

You need to modify the one in your application:

$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/

There's more information about a web application at:

http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/appdev/index.html

provided you installed the documentation with Tomcat.
