Can't get servlets to run on tomcat

i have the proper entries in the web.xml and server.xml, so thats definately not the problem. however, when i do run my servlet, i get this error message:
Error: 500

Try to change your doPost to doGet...
And anyway, what is the version of your Tomcat?
The new code:
package helloworld;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

  • Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

    Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
    "The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
    I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

    I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
    Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
    I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

  • New-Asset Report - awesome, but can't get it to run?

    Howdy - I am trying to run the awesome new-asset report that Zachary Loeber shared with the technet community.
    The script is here:  http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Excel-and-HTML-Asset-0ffbf569
    However I can't get it to run against 1 server or multiple servers.
    I followed this information someone else asked and I get back many errors, all related to the parameters.
    Can someone help me out with this?
    A. Should this be saved as a function? And then I've read conflicting or maybe different ways to run a function.  Should I do import-module or just run the script as a single command line, and I've had this issue with other functions.  Should they
    be put in a specific location on my system?  I'm newbie, so thanks for the help!
    B.  When I run this, I've tried using this simple command:  .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers testserver1.domain.local -PromptForCredentials -Verbose
    C.  Then I tried this example as well from a single line or creating another ps1 script, fails either way.
    D.  What variables are required to be filled in, and what parameters are available such as report type, include memory, but not disk, etc?
    Here's the error if I enter the command like this:  .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers testserver1 -PromptForCredentials -Verbose
    New-AssetReport : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'SaveDataFile'. Cannot convert value
    "System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter". Boolean parameters accept only Boolean values
    and numbers, such as $True, $False, 1 or 0.
    Here is the error if I use the other example which is below.  I get many errors, all tied to the parameters such as -verbose, etc.
    $Servers = @('Server1','Server2')
            .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers $Servers -PromptForCredentials -Verbose

  • Can't get Videos to run on the Internet

    Can't get Videos to run on the Internet. Clicked to watch a video and nothing happened. Sales person in Apple store said to get "Flip4Mac", free edition, which is what they used in store as the files on this site and in Windows Media. I downloaded it and I think I installed it. At least it said is was installed and updated. But when I went to my Son's favorite website, Nascar.com, when he clicked on a video to watch nothing happened. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?
    Thanks in advance for the help.....Nancy

    First off, I'll list all the items that I use to play, just about, all media on the web:
    Flip4Mac
    (as you might have found out, Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported)
    VLC
    Real Player
    Perian
    Adobe Flash
    Streamclip
    All that being said, there is still some unplayable A/V content on the web. Even though it's listed as WMV, they are really processed with a codec that is underneath that wrapper, and unsupported by any of the above listed apps and plug ins. If any content like this is found on a high profile site, and is in wmv format, then the Flip4Mac people request to be told, so they can see if compatibility can be written in on their next update.
    Generally, video playback on a Mac can be somewhat complex. Would be nice if everyone used Quicktime, but I don't see that happening on the PC end of things anytime soon. So, we'll all just have to use what we can to view content.
    RE: learning Leopard....there are some tutorials on the Apple support site, but I've always found the suppot discussions to be pretty helpful. I've never been one to get a lot from manuals. Mostly, I get my knowledge from working with the apps I need, and getting advise from others who have done whatever. Occasionally, there's a class at the college that you might look into. Anyway, feel free to ask any questions you want on this forum, or drop me an email. [email protected]

    I still can't get it to work that way. I changed my cfexecute to:
    <cfexecute name="C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" arguments="/c C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#cmd_filename#" outputFile="C:\testoutput.txt" timeout = "90"></cfexecute>
    And I changed my bat file to have:
    <cfsavecontent variable="cmd_content">
    cd\
    TSC.exe /s "#newString#" C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#FileName# Mary (for Telephone)
    </cfsavecontent>
    The output file is showing:

    C:\>TSC.exe /s "3.....P.....4.....Z.....8.....U.....7.....X....." C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\3P4Z8U7X-105724.wav Mary (for Telephone)
    I still can't get it to run the exe. I have watched the process list while running this and the exe doesn't show up. I tried cfexecute on the exe directly before trying the bat method, with hard coded arguments, and it still didn't work. I am so lost right now this makes no sense to me.

  • We are running firefox 3.0.5. When I log onto any of our machines I can't get Firefox to run. I get the Close Firefox popup and the message Firefox is already running

    I can't get firefox to run on any machines. My colleagues can.
    I can't find any trace of Firefox running and it still complains

    Also, and although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability.

  • Can't Get My Servlets to Run in Tomcat. Please help...

    Hi!
    I've been banging my head against the same brick wall for a day and a half now and am getting pretty desperate...
    I installed Tomcat 4.1.24 with no problem and successfully ran one or two of the example servlets. However, I can't get my own (working) servlets to run in either ROOT or any other folder that I create under webapps. If I move my servlets into webapps\WEB-INF\classes, though, they run fine!
    Using 'x' represent the folder I've created, I have placed a servlet called FirstServlet in x\WEB-INF\classes. I have also placed the following web.xml file inside x\WEB-INF:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
    <web-app>
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>FirstServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/FirstServlet</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    </web-app>
    [I have also tried omitting '/servlet' above and tried changing the name of the url-pattern.]
    In addition to this, I have tried editing the server.xml file by adding the following context:
    <Context path="/x" docBase="webapps/x" debug="0"
    reloadable="true">
    </Context>
    Despite all of this, I still continue to get the error message 404: The requested resource is not available.
    Can anybody please give me some idea of what I'm doing wrong or am failing to do??
    Many thanks in anticipation.
    Cheers.

    Hi, Sharnee.
    Thanks for taking the time to email me. However, I really don't need to test my servlets, since (a) they all work under the JSWDK Web server and (b) the one that I am attempting to test ('FirstServlet') works fine when I place it in webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes.
    In answer to your previous email, the URL I have used in attempting to run my servlet (with the servlet in ...\webapps\x\WEB-INF\classes, of course) is:
    http://localhost:8080/x/servlet/FirstServlet
    In desperation, I have also tried each of the following (with similar lack of success):
    http://localhost:8080/webapps/x/servlet/FirstServlet
    http://localhost:8080/ROOT/servlet/FirstServlet (after copying the servlet into ...\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes)
    http://localhost:8080/webapps/ROOT/servlet/FirstServlet
    Any suggestions?? I'm really frustrated, since the basic process that is required seems so straightforward, but simply isn't working for me!
    Thanks in anticipation.

  • Problem getting simple servlet to run in tomcat

    i am trying to get a servlet to run that is explained in wrox Professional JSP second edition. i am using tomcat as the book explains.
    1. i have created the ch03/WEB-INF/classes directory within the webapps folder in tomcat.
    2. in the classes folder i created the directory
    com/wrox/projsp/ch03/myfirstwebapp.
    3. in the folder myfirstwebapp i have the compiled file
    MyFirstServlet.class
    4. i made sure the code is exactly as in the book.
    5. it states that if i go to
    http://localhost:8080/ch03/servlet/com.wrox.projsp.ch03.myfirstwebapp.MyFirstServlet i should get the correct output.
    6. the only way i can get this to work is if i create a web.xml
    file and point it to
    com.wrox.projsp.ch03.myfirstwebapp.MyFirstServlet and then in the
    browser i type in
    http://localhost:8080/ch03/com.wrox.projsp.ch03.myfirstwebapp.MyFirstServlet thus leaving out /servlet in the URL
    7. this seems fine but i would like to get it to work how the book shows which is without having to use the web.xml. am i missing something? do i need to set up anything (eg. a context tag for this app)within the server.xml.
    any help would greatly be appreciated,
    gary bushek

    I don't know how the book you're using instructed you to setup the server but my web.xml simply has the following in it:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
    <web-app>
    </web-app>
    I'm using tomact 3.2 and am able to run my servlets using
    http://localhost/servlet/package_name.servletName

  • How Can I get mod_rewrite to run on 10.6.4?

    Hi there,
    I've carried over a local wordpress install for some debug/dev purposes on to my local comp and encountered a few issues in getting permalink/mod_rewrite functions to run cleanly.
    I've noticed there's a number of posts in this forum about this but none of them appear to give a solution so far.
    My setup is as follows:
    /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
    /*Module section*/
    *LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so*
    /* didn't know we needed this but read it on a blog post so gave it a shot*/
    *AccessFilename .htaccess*
    /* in <Directory> sections */
    *Options FollowSymLinks*
    *AllowOverride All*
    /* in <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents"> sections */
    *Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews*
    *AllowOverride All*
    I realise that the AllowOverride All at the <Directory> and <Directory "parent site"> are potentially overkill given that I only want to run the mod_rewrite for a particular user's directory. This then brings me to the specific users conf file (verbose here):
    /Private/etc/Apache2/users/[username].conf
    *<Directory "/Users/[username]/Sites">*
    *Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks*
    *AllowOverride All*
    *Order allow,deny*
    *Allow from all*
    </Directory>
    I then created a .htaccess in the user's site directory to call-up the mod_rewrite:
    *<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>*
    *Options +FollowSymlinks*
    *RewriteEngine On*
    *RewriteBase /~tariqscherer/*
    *RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]*
    *RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f*
    *RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d*
    *RewriteRule . /~tariqscherer/index.php [L]*
    </IfModule>
    This code above was the rewrite recommended by WordPress, so I assumed that it would work. However, I do not get any rewrite action occurring whatsoever.
    The Apache error log (/var/log/apache2/error_log) gives me a File does not exist result:
    Mon Sep 06 16:03:55 2010 error client 192.168.1.18 File does not exist: /Users/[username]/Sites/about, referer: http://dasein-im-welt/~*[username]*/
    This error links back to the access log's GET 404 error (/var/log/apache2/access_log):
    192.168.1.18 06/Sep/2010:16:03:55 0200 "GET /~[username]/about/ HTTP/1.1" 404 218
    I've then tried to debug this process a little bit by starting a rewrite log over in the httpd.conf file with the following syntax:
    *RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/rewrite_log*
    *RewriteLogLevel 3*
    And then retrying hoping to trace some of the errors. Much to my surprise the log remains empty so I can only assume that the rewrite is simply not operating at all.
    I then thought I should try a simple rewrite test to ensure that the error wasn't from the wordpress .htaccess cod: and put through the following in my .htaccess file:
    *<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>*
    *Options +FollowSymlinks*
    *RewriteEngine On*
    *#RewriteBase /~tariqscherer/*
    *RewriteRule ^alice\.html$ index.php*
    *#RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]*
    *#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f*
    *#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d*
    *#RewriteRule . /~tariqscherer/index.php [L]*
    </IfModule>
    I expected this rewrite to give me a rewrite over to index.php for an address entry of alice.html. However, no difference in terms of the end result - browser gives me a fail and logs are as follows:
    Access_Log:
    192.168.1.18 06/Sep/2010:16:19:15 0200 "GET /~[username]/alice.html HTTP/1.1" 404 222
    Error_Log:
    Mon Sep 06 16:19:15 2010 error client 192.168.1.18 File does not exist: /Users/[username]/Sites/alice.html
    Oh and the rewrite_log, though created, remains blank.
    I can therefore only assume that the mod_rewrite is simply not being called at any point and not rewriting the http GET requests in any form whatsoever to correct directory.
    My Question therefore is.
    Has anybody managed to get the mod_rewrite running under Mac OS X 10.6.4? Taking into account that:
    1. .htaccess is set by the AccessFile in httpd.conf
    2. AllowOverride All is set in the httpd.conf root <Directory> and <Directory "location"> sections, as well as in the [username].conf file.
    3. FollowSymLinks is also set under all options
    4. +FollowSymLinks is also set as an added precautionary measure in the .htaccess file
    I would be greatful for any help on this whatsoever.

    PS: the username used on my comp was substituted by [username] above, I hope this can help for anybody else to just substitute the entries out on their own local config or to provide a comparison entry.

    HI All,
    This isn't a solution per se, but in order to overcome the .htaccess rewrite calls limitations I had to:
    1. Rebuild Apache (up to 2.2.16) and explicitly specifying a rebuild with enable-rewrite
    2. Rebuild PHP in order to get a native module going.
    This solution works, I event went as far as just carrying over the exact same config files over to the new Apache install. There seems to be a block in the native Apache binary build that prevents usage of .htaccess (security reasons I presume?).
    The catch, however, is you will get pid locks over the two installs unless you explicit a separate lock file and you won't be able to call up the new Apache install from the preference panel in OS X fashion - need to be a bit patient with the terminal is all.
    For the apache install, you have to make sure you set a prefix location that suits you (and remember the put that prefix then over for the module load in your config as it won't be able to access your old .so modules):
    sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-rewrite
    Also note, that when recompiling php with mysql support, a few config options need to be set to disable the cgi build options (not sure why, but it does the trick). The command for the PHP rebuild is as follows:
    ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --disable-cgi
    Kind Regards,
    Tariq Scherer

    I have a 13'' Macbook that was running perfectly fine - I haven't had one issue since I bought it.  I bought the iphone 5 and needed to upgrade my itunes to version 7.  I was running Leopard 10.5.8 and needed to upgrade my OS to Snow Leopard in order to get itunes.  I ordered the software (10.6.3) and installed it on my computer.  The installation said it was successful.  I restarted my computer but I received a blinking folder with a question mark on it so I googled some solutions to see what could have gone wrong because the installation was successful.
    I have tried holding c, option, resetting the pram, disconnecting my battery and pressing the power button for 5 seconds, erasing my HD drive, restoring the HD drive with a Time Machine Backup, and everything else I was told to do but I can not get my computer up and running.  If I restart it, I keep receiving the blinking folder with the question mark.  I'm not sure how it can not recognize a OS when I go to Startup Disk, it lists my OS being 10.6.3.  When I boot the computer from the dvd, it just continues to ask me to install the software each time and I'm going in circles.
    Can someone please tell me what to do?  It seems that Apple doesn't know what to do, my hard drive was repaired (it wasn't broken), and the installation is going through sucessfully, why can't I get my computer running?
    HELP!  I'm a photographer and graphic designer and can't afford to be out of commission.  All I did was install a software, this shouldn't be this difficult.
    Thanks!
