package does not exit like that.check out whether you have written this line while listing packages
import javax.servlet.*;
The error you are getting during compilation clearly mentions that the server is unable to find the package that it has to refer to.

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

How to Compile Servlet Java Files

hello ...
i am a beginner at JSPs and java servlets ... i have been searchin' hopelessly for the past couple of days. Could someone please guide me on how to compile source files for servlets ... namely how can i include the packages javax.servlet.* since the compiler gives me an error that there is no class name ... I am using jdk1.3
Do I need to get the java server development kit ... but i cant seem to find it any where on the sun's site ... and do i need to download the j2ee sdk too ...
As you can gather that i am completely comfused and lost ... After doing programmin with asps and previous java experience, i had thought that the migration to a java platform on would be a breeze but the lack of any solid documentation which addresses the above questions is dampenin my spirits ... and the cryptic documentation with tomcat doesnt help either. :)
pleaze reply soon ... i have to implement a project for my company ... otherwise i would have to put servlets and jsp back in the closet and return back to asp.

Try http://java.sun.com/j2ee/docs.html specifically, the links on that page called Download Instructions, Installation Instructions, Java Servlets Tutorial and JavaServer Pages QuickStart Guide
By the way, J2EE SDK's reference implementation is based on Tomcat itself but is more than a web container.

How to execute servlets in tomcat?

Hi,
I have compiled servlet file and tried to execute that file from root i.e. (http://localhost/'filename'....)as class file is in web-inf/classes.But it is executing from "http://localhost/servlet/" where is that servlet directory?
why all servlets executes from "servlet/" directory?
Please reply....
Thanx in advance.

I has the same problem, and my solution was to include a line in the tomcat-auto file foreach servlet i had.
Under
JkMount /MyApp/servlet/* ajp13
I set a line
JkMount /MyApp/MyServlet ajp13
and in the web.xml of my webapp i included a servlet mapping for the servlet:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>MyPackage.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/MyServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Then restarting tomcat and apache it worked.
One question i have is that tomcat-auto file it is supposed to be auto-generated by tomcat, but in my case it is not, each time i add an app in the webapps dir i have to add all the stuff in tomcat-auto file. Does anyone know how to autogenerate this file?

How to DEPOLY servlet to TOMCAT

Hi,
I try to run Servlet from TOMCAT, but it has error. Please give me some help!
The Servlet is to access Oracle DB. V8i. from the Travel DB that I download from Oracle site. I use Jdeveloper 3.1.1.2 to create this project. It compiles and runs fine in Jdeveloper. When I try to deploy it to TOMCAT, it has the following error message:
Error: 500

It looks to me like Tomcat cannot fine the lib files.
Also, the test.jar deployment file has sub directory. If I unzip them to F:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes, it will create several sub directories and jar files. How can I run the test.class file, if the file is in a sub directory say myproject? Can Tomcat get the lib and attachment file from all the sub directory?
Thanks very much.

You need to include the Oracle db jars (see your project properties) in your tomcat enviroment..
This is done on Windows by changing the classpath section of tomcat-dir\bin\tomcat.bat. On Unix this is done simply by dropping the jar file in the tomcat-dir/lib directory.

Pls help me on how to compile servlet

pls i need the help of some kind one to assist me on how to compile and deploy servlet .I'm new to javaEE & am using the javaEE tutorial from sun site.In the first example servlet in d book, after compiling and deploying the greetingServlet and responseServlet and deployed it ,i was told to include a welcome jsp file in d war file. all these i have done but the server always complain of not been able locate d greetingServlet.
i use the netbeans IDE and sun java application server.The greetingServlet & responseServlet codes are these; Pls I don't know what to put in the jsp file

import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
* This is a simple example of an HTTP Servlet. It responds to the GET

public class GreetingServlet extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(
        HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        response.setBufferSize(8192);
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

            RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext()
                                               .getRequestDispatcher(

    public String getServletInfo() {
        return "The Response servlet says hello.";
}

Here is what you will need to do.
1. Compile the servlets by performing the following steps
1.1 Open a command line in the directory where your servlets are located.
1.2 Type the following commands
1.2.1 javac GreetingServlet.java
1.2.2 javac ResponseServlet.java
Then you should see the .class files for these classes appear in the directory .
Next you will put these class files in the WEB-INF/classes directory.
Once you have done that you will edit your web.xml in the WEB-INF directory to include the two servlets. That code will look something like this
<?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>
     <servlet>
          <servlet-name>GreetingServlet</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>GreetingServlet</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>GreetingServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/GreetingServlet</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
     <servlet>
          <servlet-name>ResponseServlet</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>ResponseServlet</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>ResponseServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/ResponseServlet</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>Once you have done this save the web.xml file and recompile the war file by following these steps
1 open a commandline in the root directory where the servlets are
2 type the following command jar -cvf warFileName.war .
*Note the space and period at the end of the command are not a mistake the space . tells the jar tool to complie the war from the directory you are current in.
Once this command is successfully ran you should see a .war file appear in the directory you are in. Then simply put the war file in your deploy directory of your server and you are finished.
alternatly if you are just doing this for yourself to learn servlets and this is not going to be deployed anywhere then I would just use the W3C's Jigsaw server which does all the work for you all you have to do is compile the servlets and put the class files in the servlets directory and you are done.

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 Compile servlet files in weblogic

Hi,
I would like to know how i can compile the servlet files to deploy in weblogic.
I searched for servlet.jar or servlet-api.jar files in my weblogic 8.1 installed folder. Could not find it to set the classpath.
Please help.

You need to use weblogic.jar for Weblogic 8.1. It should be present under server\lib subdirectory in Weblogic installation directory.

How to compile servlet

Hi,

thanks,
Shimaa

My friend , From your post it seems you have kickstarted your career in JSP and Servlet Technology. Compiling a Servlet is as simple as mud if you are using Tomcat [Best Server for Beginners in this field]
For Tomcat :
If you downloaded the tomcat server from Apache website and if you extracted to your c:\ , then following things have to setted up in the environmental variables of your machine (Right click Mycomputer ->Advanced->Environmental Variables)
1: CATALINA_HOME : C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16
2:CLASSPATH : C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16\common\lib\jsp-api.jar
3:JAVA_HOME : C:\j2sdk1.4.0
4:path : c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16\bin..
Hope this helps...
