Debugging servlet in Tomcat

Where can I see the System.out.println in Servlet on tomcat?
Where does it go?
Please tell anybody if you know.

Just go into catalina.sh
and comment with an #
like below
(org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start &#\
#>> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &)
that's it .. took me a day to find out
touch "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out
if [ "$1" = "-security" ] ; then
echo "Using Security Manager"
shift
"$_RUNJAVA" $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="$JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS" -classpath "$CLASSPATH" \
-Djava.security.manager \
-Djava.security.policy=="$CATALINA_BASE"/conf/catalina.policy \
-Dcatalina.base="$CATALINA_BASE" \
-Dcatalina.home="$CATALINA_HOME" \
-Djava.io.tmpdir="$CATALINA_TMPDIR" \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start \
>> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &
if [ ! -z "$CATALINA_PID" ]; then
echo $! > $CATALINA_PID
fi
else
"$_RUNJAVA" $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="$JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS" -classpath "$CLASSPATH" \
-Dcatalina.base="$CATALINA_BASE" \
-Dcatalina.home="$CATALINA_HOME" \
-Djava.io.tmpdir="$CATALINA_TMPDIR" \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start &#\
#>> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &
if [ ! -z "$CATALINA_PID" ]; then

Debugging Servlets on Tomcat server on Eclipse IDE?

Hi,
I am new to servlets. I want to debug my servlet. It consists of doPost() and doGet methods. Is it possible to debug it ? If yes, how?
Regards,
ap.

too many cooks may spoil the broth dear APs..
any ways..sop is System.out.println(), which is the easiest way to debug.:) not a sophisticated way tho..
U can configure a logger using logger utilities like log4j.

There seems not to be any '.html' in your url-pattern

http://yourhost/Logininstead.

To Deploy a Servlet using Tomcat

I am trying to deploy an example servlet in tomcat.
my example servlet code is
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
public class HitServlet extends HttpServlet {
private int mCount;
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String message = "Hits: " + ++mCount;
response.setContentType("text/plain");
response.setContentLength(message.length());
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(message); } }
i 've placed my servlet in the directory
webapps/midp/WEB-INF/classes/HitServlet.java
i've successfully compiled the code. Then started the tomcat server & thro' IE tried to open the url to http://localhost:8080/midp/hits.
but i 'm receiving the error the servlet bob is missing. i've placed the web.xml & server.xml in the folders specified in the tutorial. in server.xml i've added the code
<Context path="/midp" docBase="midp" debug="0" reloadable="true" privileged="true"/>
web.xml
<?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>bob</servlet-name> <servlet-class>HitServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>bob</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/hits</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app>
If u can guide me to deploy the servlet it'll be very helpfull.
With Best Regards
Ramkumar

one idea that I have is the CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE.
We use CATALINA_BASE to install our stuff in another directory than that of the tomcat installation.
in the tomcat-engine.log you should se sth similar to:
2003-06-18 09:19:04 StandardHost[localhost]: Installing web application at context path /hits from URL file:<xxx/webapps/midp>
2003-06-18 09:19:04 WebappLoader[/gtfn]: Deploying class repositories to work directory $CATALINA_BASE/work/Apache/localhost/gtfn

Debug - servlet

Colud someone help me to how debug a servlet with tomcat and netbeans 3.5.1 ?
Thanks

If you're running on the Tomkat server, dropping debug statements in won't work. It does if you're running from the S!S ide that's a different question.
However, if you're running on the actual server, about the only thing you can do is to sprinkle Systm.out.println(String) commands through the code and watche the log to see what's going on.
If however you are running from the ide and you launch the server in debug mode. (You'll have to check the ide docs for specifics because I don't have them here with me) then you can drop debug markers in the code and it will stop and let you step through the code.
Regards,

Servlet on tomcat 4.1.18

I am facing a problem of running servlets on Tomcat 4.1.18. The problem seems to be in the configuration. In the webapps folder, I created a folder greeting. In that, the WEB-Inf\classes folder has GreetingServlet.class.
webapp\greeting has index.html that has to FORM ACTION set to /greeting/servlet/GreetingServlet.
On clicking the submit button the message I get is that the resource /greeting/servlet/GreetingServlet is not found.
Can anybody help in configuring the server so that the above mentioned servlet gets recognized?
Thanks.

My application is located at %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps.
%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\greeting\WEB-INF\web.xml has the following:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>greeting</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>GreetingServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>
%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\greeting\index.html has the following:
<FORM ACTION="/greeting/servlet/GreetingServlet" METHOD="POST">
<P> Your name <INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="40" NAME="name"></P>
</FORM>
Yet the problem persists.
Have I missed some point?
Help/assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Servlets in Tomcat

I am trying to run servlets using Tomcat. I have them working and displaying but as soon as I make a change to a servelt and re-compile and refresh the browser the change do not take effect. I have to shutdown and restart tocat. Surely this can't be right. can anyone help with correcting this problem?

Lesta,
For convenience there's a Tomcat admin console. The admin console runs through a web browser and allows you to restart an application, restart a context ect. I think you can also install or reinstall entire ears through it now.
There's some setup to do before you can use the admin console. I seem to remember there being an XML user/password file somewhere...
In a production environment you don't want to shutdown and restart the daemon like you are doing. It will just annoy the heck out of your users.
Hope this helps.

I have Tomcat version 4.0 installed on my machine. If you look at the directory where you have Tomcat installed, you should find the directory structure:
tomcat-folder/webapps/root/web-inf/classes
Try placing your class files in the classes folder.

How to Run servlet in Tomcat 5.5.9

hi
How to run servlet in tomcat 5.5.9?how to set context path in server.xml of conf folder in tomcat since there is no context tag in server.xml.
Jiten

Hi ! I have a similar problem, well, it's along the same line ...
I'm using NetBeans 4.1, and i've coded a servlet. Using NetBeans to launch my servlet (with the bundled Tomcat 5.5.7) works fine, however i need to deploy my application unto a Tomcat 5.5.9 server.
Thus, i copied the WAR file generated by NetBeans into the Tomcat 5.5.9 webapps directory, and Tomcat expands it.
Problem is when i run my JSP pages with the form tags, they do not work on the Tomcat 5.5.9 environment. Anyone knows why?
(These work on the NetBeans Tomcat bundle 5.5.7)
My form action :
<form name="index" method="get" action="PageServlet">
My web.xml :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>PageServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>application.PageServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>PageServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/PageServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I'm really stumbed on why it doesn't work in Tomcat 5.5.9, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance ^_^

How to run Servlet in Tomcat 5.5.7 Server

Hi,
How to run Servlet in Tomcat 5.5.7 Server. I mean where I should copy my *.class file.
Thanks in Advance.
bbye.

In order to complile the servlet you need to tell java where to find the servlet libary (as stated above by setting the class path). or (much easier IMO)
copy the servlet-api.jar to
JavaInstallDirectory\jre\lib\ext

To start, make sure you have specified the servlet and mapping in your application's WEB-INF/web.xml file.

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>yourServletName</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>path.to.Servlet</servlet-class>
</sevlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>yourServletName</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/yourServletName</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
