Works with invoker servlet but not without
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.18 on Linux. When I deploy my
app (war file in the 'webapps' directory) and the
invoker servlet is uncommented from web.xml, my
application works fine.
I then comment out the invoker servlet, and remove all
references in my JSPs to 'servlet' as part of form
'action' values, and the application stops working
(resource ... is not available).
As an example, if a form in a JSP has
action="/myapp/servlet/MyServlet/NextJsp", I removed
'/servlet'. I have one servlet, MyServlet, that
handles all of the control logic, so all 'actions'
refer to this servlet.
The servlet class is obviously defined, and the
servlet mapping is as follows:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myapp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This mapping is the same one that works when the
invoker servlet is uncommented.
Can someone please explain to me what is happening?
Thank you.
Les

Thanks for the response.
Two questions about it: 1) why did it work with the
invoker servlet? 2) do I also change the form
'actions' to be '/MyServlet/NextJsp' from
'/myapp/servlet/MyServlet/NextJsp'?
Thanks.

The <url-pattern> value should be *context* relative, not *server*
relative. In other words, it should not include the context path in it.
This makes sense when you understand that a webapp should work correctly
no matter what context path you deploy it on.
Try this instead:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/MyServlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
instead.
