Requested Resource() not available

[Nabila Mohammad]

Hi !
I am getting the error of "requested resource not available" while trying out the code of HFSJ pg. 30.
I had the same problem earlier, but it worked after I changed the coding from encoding="ISO-8851-1" to encoding="ISO-8859-1".
Some one had mentiioned that earlier in java ranch.
I know, usually this problem occurs when there is some problem with the web.xml file or mapping.

Tried checking everything including the location of the files and all ,but still couldnt get it right.
Can any one help me to what I may be overlooking..

My web.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
	http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
	version="2.4">
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>Chapter1 Servlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>Ch1Servlet</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>Chapter1 Servlet</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>Serv1</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
    

Location for the web.xml file is C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ch1\WEB-INF
Location for Ch1Servlet.java files is C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ch1\WEB-INF\classes

I read a number of posts which had exactly the same problem but still couldn't find the solution for mine

thanks!

Can you see in your Tomcat logs whether your application was deployed correctly after Tomcat startup?
Which url do you enter in your browser to call your servlet?

[Vijitha Kumara]

First of all it's good to have the classes (or servlets) in a user defined package rather than default. And how are you accessing the servlet (URL in the browser)?

[Nabila Mohammad]

My url to access the servlet is http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1
I am not sure how to access the Tomcat Log .
If some one can help me , may be i can check it out ..

[Vijitha Kumara]

Change url pattern to /Serv1 in web.xml. Restart the context and chaeck again.

[Nabila Mohammad]

I tried that as well ...
It didn't work

[Vijitha Kumara]

Have you move the servlet to a package and try it with all the necessary modifications in web.xml?

[Frank Eichfelder]

You can find the log files in the directory C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs.

Well, I haven;t tried moving to a different package... I am still new at this and haven't gotten a hang of it. I have more chances of messing up trying something new ,when I am unable to get the stuff written on the book right!
I checked out the logs - looked ok to me (not sure what i was supposed to be looking for )
but from what i did make out it looked fine...


Anway, I ll just keep searching tilll i find the error

[Nabila Mohammad]

Can some one tell me how to delete a post!?!

[Nabila Mohammad]

I got it right!!!

I think i had two different web.xml files , and I was looking at the wrong one!


Thanks alot for all your suggestions!

Glad you solve it
