Hello, I have a serlet that is supposed to 'serve up' an html page with the application loaded. Currently I can deploy to the application server and when it starts it gives an error HTTP Status 404 - requested resource is not available. I can append the html page and bring up the application no problem and it runs fine. I tried adding the html page to web.xml welcome-file but no luck. Any ideas? TIA.
Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I have a servlet that should some up as http://localhost:8080/MyServlet/spallChecker.html. Currently, only http://localhost:8080/MyServlet/ comes up and the html page is left off. The html page is where I have referenced all my javascript that creates the application window. I need it to come up right away without the user having to type it in. Thanks.
It considered bad form to generate markup in a servlet, that's the strength of JSP.
You haven't yet revealed what it is you are really trying to accomplish. What's the purpose of "mixing" the HTML with Servlets and JSP? Why not just serve the HTML?
Bear, thanks for the continued tips and questions. I have some javascript that creates an editor embedded in the html page. In thinking about this and your comments perhaps I need to rewrite the html page as a jsp page that 'hosts' this editor. The background, for what it's worth, is that Ajax grabs the text, passes it to the servlet, processes the stream against the Jazzy API, and passes spelling suggestions back through JSON to the page. Maybe this html business is a waste of time. Thanks, Dan.
