doing the servlet exercises

[Benjoe Reyes]

i have downloaded the orion server and got it running then i placed my NowServlet class file in
c:\orion\default-web-app\WEB-INF\classes\
and my NowServlet.htm file in
c:\orion\default-web-app\
but when i clicked the button to get the date & time i get the "page cannot be found" message instead...
the following are my java and html codes respectively:

(code removed by Marilyn-post pseudocode and snippets only please)
<FORM
ACTION="http://localhost:8080/servlet/NowServlet"
METHOD="GET">

why is it that everytime i turn around the corner things go BLAM!!! ???
* i changed the "<" to "&It" because i get error messages in posting my message due to tags...

Were you able to see the BeeServlet? I wonder because Orion's default is port 80, not port 8080.

I used orion with the port set to 8080, but it was something that had to be set explicitly (in the default-web-site.xml file, I think).

In your form you have:
ACTION="http://localhost:8080/servlet/NowServlet"
Not sure why you're using an absolute path in the html form. Have you tried
ACTION="/servlet/NowServlet" ?

i'm on servlet 3 now. i tried to copy and embedd Reverse2.htm in my servlet program so continued clicking the button would cycle through the reverse and unreversing of the text but it won't happen. i've been thinking of using showDocument() but i can't find a way to pass the text value
any tips?

You mean showDocument() as in javascript?

You need to find a way to embed your html (not the html page) into your servlet.
