Hi all,
I am writing my first servlet, and facing some troubles.
I have my servlet:
package com.example.servlet;
// other imports...
public class Hello extends HttpServlet{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException{
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
String name = req.getParameter("name");
out.println("<HTML>");
out.println("<HEAD><TITLE>Hello, " + name + "</TITLE></HEAD>" );
out.println("<BODY>");
out.println("Hello, " + name);
out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
}
}
I have modified my web.xml file as follow:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>hello1</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.example.servlet.Hello</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello1</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello1/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I have my HTML page: I am not sure if the path that I have provided for ACTION is correct... should it be relative to which directory???
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Just say hello</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION="com\example\servlet\Hello"> // is this path correct???
What's your name?
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="name"><P>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
My folder structure for tomcat is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\
Hello.java - C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\mySite\WEB-INF\classes\com\example\servlet\
index.html - C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\mySite\
web.xml - C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\mySite\WEB-INF\
The error that I am getting is "HTTP Status 404" and complaining that servlet page doesn't exist.
Please advise...
Thanks in advance
