Subject: Problem with form processing using doGet


Hello,

I developed a simple web application using Eclipse.

Having it unit tested I created war using command: jar -cf MyApp.war *

I deployed the war file on Tomcat 5.5.20 on the PC where I developed the application. Still, everything worked fine.

However, when I moved the war file to a different PC (I tried two different ones) with analogical set-up,

some of my servlets no longer work. I noticed the problematic ones are those using doGet.

What is strange is that Tomcat doesn't give me exception: resource not found.

Instead nor doGet, nor doPost seem to be called for those servlets.

What might be the source of the problem is the way servlets are invoked.

Here is an example of what I have in HTML page to get a picture served by my servlet:

<img src="/Wedding/imageGetter?source=images&id=cal.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Wybierz datę">

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Remik

Could you provide a stack trace for that error?

You might want to check to see that the context name is the same between
machines. You are going to want to change all your links to point to
something like this:

<img src="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/Wedding/imageGetter?..." />

This allows you to relocate your webapp without having to change your
URLs all the time.

While you're at it, you should add a call to request.encodeURL() in
there so that non-cookie-using clients will work, too. ;)
