a newbie question...

["Gilson do N. D'Elrei" <gi...@uol.com.br>]

hello all,
I have made a simple servlet (HelloWorldServlet2) and added it on my WEB-INF/Classes context. When I try to execute it using the url below:

http://server:8080/mycontext/servlets/HelloWorldServlet2

i received "not found (404)" error. I tried also:

http://server:8080/mycontext/HelloWorldServlet2
http://server:8080/mycontext/WEB-INF/Classes/HelloWorldServlet2
but I continue to receiving the same error.
My tomcat installation is ok, cos i get to execute the examples servlet files and others.


I have added these lines in the server.xml file 
<Context path="/mycontext"
 docBase="webapps/mycontext" 
 debug="0" 
reloadable="true" > 
</Context>

and updated these lines in the tomcat.conf  (only more a trying... )

############################## Context mapping - you need to "deploy"
# ( copy or ln -s ) the context into htdocs
##

ApJservMount /mycontext/servlet /root
<Location /mycontext/WEB-INF/ >
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location> 

thanks in advance.

Hi :-)

*
   - if we don't set servlet-maping in WEB-INF/web.xml, now it means
     we will use the "Non-standard invoker, for backward compat" syntax
     to invoke MyServlet class, like the following:

http://[server]:[port]/[ContextName]/[invokerName]/[ServletName/servlet-declarationName]

   - and if we also don't change the "Non-standard invoker" in
conf/server.html,
      it means now we will use the "default one":  it is "/servlet/"

      so now the sytax should be:

http://[server]:[port]/[ContextName]/servlet/[ServletName/servlet-declarationName]

        (it is not "/servlets/", it is "/servlet/")


*
   - if you Do change the "RequestInterceptor" from "/servlet/" to
     "/servlets/", your 1st syntax will be right .

   - if you define a servlet-declaration in WEB-INF/web.xml, you also
     can use the following syntax:

http://[server]:[port]/[ContextName]/[invokerName]/[servlet-declarationName]

   - if you define a servlet-mapping in WEB-INF/web.xml and you also
want to use it now,
      now it means you will Not use invokerName, you will directly use
the following syntax:
        http://[server]:[port]/[ContextName]/[servlet-mappingName]

(*  ContextName is defined in conf/server.xml)


* the following is from conf/server.xml of jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1, but I
don't
   find it in TC4.0-b5,  I guess it means:
- TC4.0-b5  still use "/servlet/" as default "Non-standard invoker"
- but Only when I try to change it, then I  have to write them in
conf/server.xml,
   otherwise I don't need to write.  is it right?  thanks!

        <!-- Non-standard invoker, for backward compat. ( /servlet/* )
             You can modify the prefix that is matched by adjusting the
             "prefix" parameter below.  Be sure your modified pattern
             starts and ends with a slash.

             NOTE:  This prefix applies to *all* web applications that
             are running in this instance of Tomcat.

        <RequestInterceptor
            className="org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor"
            debug="0" prefix="/servlet/" />

have a nice day! :-)
