Tomcat error : missing application web.xml

[Balaji Londhe]

Hi Ranchers,

I am getting error on the Tomcat console "info : missing application web.xml...." for the webapplication named demoservlet I have created, while starting the server.
And while running this webapp,I am getting error "demoservlet/as not found"
('/as' is the url-pattern for the servlet in the web app).

Could anybody please help?
Thanks in advance....

Check following
1.web.xml should be inside WEB-INF folder
Example-: tomcat/webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF
2. For each tag opening tag there should be closing tag
Example
<web-apps...>opening tag
</web-apps> closing tag
3. For servlet mapping use following tags
[code]
<we-app...>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>pack.com.myservlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/as.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Are you sure you have the following : /webapps/demoservlet/WEB-INF/web.xml ?

[Balaji Londhe]

Yes... I am very sure that web.xaml is present at 'webapps/demoservlet/WEB-INF/web.xml'

[Christophe Verré]

please post your web.xml

It looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app id="WebApp">
<display-name>demoservlet</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>demo</servlet-name>
<display-name>demoservlet</display-name>
<servlet-class>servletdemo</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>demo</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/as</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Please use this type of url-pattern.

<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MyOwnDefaultServlet</servlet-name><url-pattern>/myservlet/*(</url-pattern></servlet-mapping>

Then what should be my full URL for web browser?

put this fragment at the top of your web.xml file and check if it works...
