pro_jsp thread: Problems with web app path in Tomcat 4.1.12


Message #1 by "Tom Berry" <tberry@v...> on Thu, 31 Oct 2002 04:16:32
Bibagimon,

I've tried every possible path combination including "/servlet/package-
name.Servlet". When I use this syntax, Tomcat looks for the servlet from 
the "webapps" folder - it loses the path to my web app. Thanks for 
responding though - Tom


> You may test with
action='/servlet/package-name.Servlet'

thanks
