I'm trying to follow the tutorials is the O'Rielly Java Servlet Programming book, but I can't get the example to work. I put a jsp in web-inf and it appeared. (Tomcat 7.0.53)

The servlet:


The web.xml:


I've tried removing "servlet" from the path, but I still get the 404 "The requested resource is not available."

I imagine it's something obvious, but there's a bit of a gap in the book I have and what I'm running on.

I can get a jsp page to show, so I'm relatively certain I have everything correct. I just press the "run" button and select Tomcat.

It's WEB-INF, not web-inf.

And why have you mapped /* to your servlet?

Sorry, yes, capitalization matters in some places.

I mapped /* in an effort to get any response from the servlet.

Remove the mapping as it'll cause more problems than sole any.

Have you gone through the steps in the ServletsFaq?

Ok, I'm looking at the FAQ. (I was previously maintaining older code, and I have come from a mostly php, C and C++ background.) This is my first from scratch servlet.

I think I don't have a package. I just ran the wizard in eclipse and put my code in it, and my .java file sits in the "src" folder and not a sub folder. It would have to sit in a sub folder and have a package keyword? The wizard didn't do that.



I would have to change all that and then point the web.xml file to something other than:


I would make it something like "IntDestroyCounter.<new package>.init" so the class and path match up as well. Then put a folder in for the new package, and put "package init" at the top of init.java.

In my opinion, letting a wizard generate your code isn't doing you any favors. Use the IDE as a smart editor, but write all the code yourself.

And yes, servlets, along with all other classes in a web app, must be in a package. But no, the InitDestroyCounter would not be part of the package. The package hierarchy would be rooted at src, and must be mirrored in WEB-INF/classes.

If you are not familiar with Java packages, that's a core concept you need to understand before writing web apps.

I'm trying to figure this out, to get my "hello world" example going with the intention of teaching myself. I have added "package test;" to my source and tried changing my web.xml to:


I created a directory and now the source is at: src/test/init.java

I'm seeing init.class under build/classes/test

when I go to http://localhost:8080/InitDestoryCounter/init I'm still getting "The requested resource is not available"

I also tried importing a pre-made project from http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/tomcat-7-with-eclipse.html in "test-app.zip" and I get the same error.

I tried cleaning, deleting and rebooting things... I think it worked.

Don't do empty catch blocks. Ever. It's only a matter of time before that bites you in the butt. You'll find that even just printing the stacktrace will give you a clue that would help you track down the error, without which you'll spend hours scratching your head.
