Can't I change the directory structure?

Question

          Hello Everybody,
          So far everything is working when use the default directory structure,i.e. mydomain/applications/myWebApp/WEB-INF/classes/some package structure.
          But we have application with lot of html files which call servlets like this..myWebApp/WebApp/myServlet.
          In order not to change my html files, I've created this WebApp directory under weblogic directory structure shown above.
          I've done some trial and error in web.xml file to make servlets execute. But 404 error is showing up.
          I tried putting in web.xml like this...
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>/WebApp/HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>com.reliable.servlets.HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/WebApp/HelloWorldServlet/*</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          I also tried taking out slash(/) before WebApp but no luck.
          Can any one guide how to make this work.
          Thanks so much,
          Sri
          

Answer 1

What he needs is something like:
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>HHH</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>com.reliable.servlets.HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>HHH</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>HelloWorldServlet/*</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          HHH is simply to link the mapping declaration to the servlet declaration.
          Then the URL would be something like:
          http://myserver:8801/appname/HelloWorldServlet/abc
          If this is the default app, then appname/ drops out.
          There is a good discussion of this in our docs and
          the servlet spec discusses this as well.
