web.xml not working
I have created a web application as per the Servlet API specs and deployed
it into the webapps directory of Tomcat in a directory called 'sampleapp.'
The only way that I am able to access the webapp's servlet (which is in
sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes) is by the url
'SERVERADDRESS/sampleapp/servlet/SERVLETNAME' and this is only when I
don't have a web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory. When I place the
web.xml file that I created (using to the documents on the Sun and
Jakarta sites) I am unable to find my servlet.
The servlet mapping in the web.xml file looks like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>StoryGeneratorServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>StoryGenerator</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>StoryGeneratorServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/story</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I tried using the urls 'SERVERNAME/sampleapp/servlet/story' and
'SERVERNAME/sampleapp/story'
I also tried to install the J2EE sample 'petstore' web application but had
problems accessing the servlets with it too. I am able to get to the jsps
and static files okay.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
Erin

That was my web.xml for Erin to use as an example.
Mine works just fine btw.

Re: web.xml not working
Posted by Krishna Muthyala <ge...@yahoo.com>.
Eric
If you deploy your servlets using a web.xml then you
should have your servlets properly packaged. so in
your case you need to package your servlets as
com.beeslender.servlets.LoginServlet
package com.beelender.servlets; at the top of your
Login Servlet and then you should map your web.xml in
the following way
<servlet>
<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.beeslender.servlets.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
LoginServlet
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/com/beeslender/servlets/LoginServlet/*
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</servlet>
in your server.xml also you need to specify as followd
<Context path="/com" docBase="webapps/com"
crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true"
>
</Context>
<Context path="/com/beeslender"
docBase="webapps/com/beeslender"
crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true"
>
</Context>
<Context path="/com/beeslender/servlets"
docBase="webapps/com/beeslender/servlets"
crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true"
>
</Context>
you want to make your servlets work, package them and
deploy them as above, ok

Re: web.xml not working
Posted by Erin Lester <ec...@student.math.uwaterloo.ca>.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's it. According to the
Java Servlet Spec. v2.2 (ch. 13, pg 65), servlet-mapping isn't contained
within the servlet element, but is a seperate element.
In my original post I said I couldn't have a web.xml file in my
application. That was incorrect, I am able to have a web.xml file, but
the servlet mappings in it aren't working.
To clarify, my servlet isn't in a package.

Re: web.xml not working
Posted by Charles Baker <ra...@yahoo.com>.
Here is a servlet definition from my web.xml file:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
Login
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
com.beeslender.servlets.LoginServlet
</servlet-class>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
Login
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/Login
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</servlet>
Notice that <servlet-mapping> is a child of <servlet>.
Also, did you create your servlets as part of a
package? If so, you need a directory structure under
$TOMCAT_HOME/sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes that matches
your package. For example,
$TOMCAT_HOME/sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/beeslender/servlets
That's where the *.class files would go.
