Servlet deployment in Weblogic

Question

Hi,
Its a very simple thing but somehow its not working.Saw many sites ,but the solution is the same.But its still not working..can anyone help.
Well..I have written a simple servlet that prints Hello.I am trying to deploy it in Weblogic 6.1.But when i invoke it thru the brwser the web server simply cannot find the servlet..i mean therez no error etc..its just 'Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request....'
I have modified the web.xml file and added this..
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>DataFetchServlet</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>DataFetchServlet.class</servlet-class>
     <servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>DataFetchServlet</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>quickStartServlet</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
</servlet>
i am calling the servlet like this
http://localhost:7001/quikStartServlet
but in vain..am i missing somehting?
I have put the class into classes directory of the WEB-INF directory as specified by BEA Weblogic docs.
thanx in advance

Answer 1

What context is the servlet in? Did you put in
the "default web application" (either the one
furnished by the WLS install or one that you so
designated in the configuration)? If not, then that
part of your URL is missing. E. g.
http://localhost:7001/webappname/nameFromWebXml
That right.
But the user is also missing a '/' before the url pattern.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>DataFetchServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/quickStartServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Try that.
