Deploy of hello world servlet

Question

I installed Bea Web Logic 6.1 and I wrote a simple servlet HelloWorld to test it but now I explain it better:
1) I created the directory "c:\prova" where I made a subdirectory "C:\prova\WEB-INF\classes" where I put the .class file of the Servlet.
2) I made this web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 1.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>CiaoMondoServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>CiaoMondoServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CiaoMondoServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>CiaoMondoServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
3) I put it in the subdirectory : "C:\prova\WEB-INF"
4) I made the war file: prova.war (c:\prova> jar cvf prova.war *.*)
5) I put the war file int his directory :
"C:\bea\wlserver6.1\config\examples\applications"
6) I make the server start (The icon "Start Examples Server") and when I try to access this resource:
http://localhost:7001/prova/CiaoMondoServlet
It answers :
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Answer 1

Hi
I supose that this error due to the server doesn't recognize the application context.
Please try to deploy the war file using the administrative console and try again.
