Please see the ServletsFaq for a list of possible causes for this issue.

oh..
I was invoking wrongly.
I corrected the URL by http://localhost:8080/ServletExample/Home.jsp and it worked.

Previously i was trying http://localhost:8080/ServletExample/HelloWorld.

But no idea whether invoking this way is correct or not

Here one more question arise to me. I wanted to have /test/* in the url-pattern and wanted to invoke the JSP file. Is it possible. Because I am getting error. May be I am missing something. Please  help.

That does not match what is in your web.xml, so that should not be a surprise.

Sorry, I missed the other declaration.

Have you gone through the list in the ServletsFaq? There's one obvious step you have not taken.

What other declaration?

I see a servlet called "Hello" which is in the servlet class "HelloWorld"
The servlet called "Hello" should be accessed using the url pattern "/HelloServlet"

Possibly you are mixing up the Servlet class with the URL you have defined to access the servlet?


Also, I think Bear is hinting at the fact that your Servlet class (and for that matter all java classes you right) needs to be in a package.

I followed the link http://met.guc.edu.eg/OnlineTutorials/JSP%20-%20Servlets/A%20servlet%20example.aspx
As i told i am very new to servlet. But I am confused with how the servlet will be called?
using the jsp page
or
using the servlet name

You use the URL mapping that you set up in the web.xml.

I don't think the URL mapping is required here first to be invoked.
As it has a JSP page and that jsp page uses a servlet for business logic. One need to invoke the JSP page first

You don't use the JSP page to get to a servlet.
That's backwards.

You should be making requests to a servlet that then either responds itself or forwards to a (hidden under WEB-INF) JSP page to display the result.

Thanks.
But then why I am getting error when i run the servlet directly.
I using java 8 and Marse 2 eclipse. Even i tried using annotations without using web.xml. But when i run JSP page it is working but when i run the servlet directly it is giving 404 error.

Ok I am able to call the servlet now.

My code is
LoginServlet.java


LoginService.java


login.jsp


success.jsp


With these files I am able to run the servlet and then redirect to the login.jsp

Please let me know this is correct way of invoking or not
