hi all,

im a beginner to servlet and tomcat. i got a problem with simple app which will display "Hello Servlet". the tomcat was successfully running, i omit the some comment in servlet-name invoker in web.xml, and i copy the HelloServlet.class to c:\....\webapps\root\web-inf\classes. but the browser display this message "The requested resource (/servlet/HelloServlet) is not available." does anyone know this problem, pls. help. i really need any suggestions... tnx in advance

:)
try http://127.0.0.1:8080/HelloServlet
you should add aliases -- "servlet" if you want to http://127.0.0.1:8080/servlet/HelloServlet

hello,
I had the same problem ,
This is what u have to do
U will have to write a web.xml for ur servlet which includes the
path for the invoker servlet.

example
suppose u have got a a servlet called GreetingServlet

Application is under folder greetingwrite the web.xml under greeting/WEB-INF
ur class file(GreetingServlet.class) under greeting/WEB-INF/classesur src code(GreetingServlet.java) under greeting/WEB-INF/src

the sample web.xml is this,
<web-app>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>GreetingServlet</servlet-name>
    </servlet-mapping>GreetingServlet</servlet-mapping>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

now start ur tomcat and type http://localhost:8080/GreetingServlet

This should solve the problem
