error in output of First program in HFSJ

[nishant dahiya]

i have done exactly as per the directions given in HFSJ page 30 program , i also started tomcat showing its home page at localhost:8080 but when i try to type http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 i get the 404 error.

i can't exactly figure out what the problem is . I have build the exact directories as well as copied web.xml to WEB-INF and Ch1Servlet.java to classes in tomcat directory.


Can anybody please help me out??

Does the server start up normally ?
What does your catalina logfile say ?

[nishant dahiya]

yeah server started normally and i dont know what catalina are you talking about can you explain a bit please.

[Sebastian Janisch]

in your tomcat installation folder there is a logs folder. I would suggest you stop the server, delete whatever is in there, and then restart and see what files are created and what error messages they contain ...

[nishant dahiya]

Do you want me to post my catalina logs here

[Sebastian Janisch]

Yes, but please use code tags ;)

[Christophe Verré]

I have build the exact directories as well as copied web.xml to WEB-INF and Ch1Servlet.java to classes in tomcat directory.

That's Ch1Servlet.class you need in the classes directory. And what tomcat directory are you referring to ? Do you mean a directory you made under webapps ?

(moving this thread to the Tomcat forum)

[nishant dahiya]

yeah i am talking about the same Ch1Servlet.class file , which i have written as Ch1Servlet.java file by mistake.

Also by tomcat directory i am talking about the whole directory structure given in HFSJ at page 31 i.e tomcat\webapps\ch1\WEB-INF\classes.

Hello,

it is probably too late and you already have the answer, but for the sake of everyone else who may hit the same error.

I have just hit the same error... found an answer on some German website.

There is a type mistake in the book. Valid ISO encoding version is "ISO-8859-1".

If you take a look at other web.xml files that Tomcat uses you will see that is the version they use.

Regards.
