Web.xml Tomcat 5.0 Servlet problem

Hey guys....
The last time I used a servlet was before the new change in security in Tomcat. Ive been looking all over the net for some easy references about how they are to be mapped but no matter what I try nothing seems to work.
My servlet is located in ROOT\Admin\WEB-INF\classes\colt and is called AddOLO.class
My web.xml file is located in ROOT\Admin\WEB-INF and contains the following code:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>AddOLO</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>colt.AddOLO</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AddOLO</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Admin/add</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
On the HTML form invoking the Servlet (addOLO.html) Im using the following small piece of code
<form action="http://Colt/Admin/servlet/AddOLO" method="post" align="centre">
The server is operating on Port 80.
All I seem to be getting is a 404 Error Saying The requested resource (/Admin/servlet/AddOLO) is not available. Can anyone see what is wrong here?
Thanks in advance

I don't think there's anything to prohibit you from deploying servlets in ROOT, but webapps that have pages and servlets that work together should be in their own context. That's what you did when you created the directory under webapps. I think it's the right way to deploy web apps. Even better, learn how to create and deploy WAR files:
http://access1.sun.com/techarticles/simple.WAR.html
Once you have a WAR, which is simply a JAR'd version of the directory you just created under webapps, you can simply pick it up and deploy it by dropping it into the webapps directory of any Tomcat server. Tomcat will unpack it for you. - MOD

Running servlets not described in web.xml (tomcat-4.1.24)

Is it compulsory to have a entry in the web.xml to run a servlet in tomcat-4.x. In tomcat 3.x it was not required. If it is not a must how to enable that??
thanx in advance

i had completly forgotten i could just place a servlet in the web-inf/classes. after using jsp for so long, some things just get lost.
what im wondering now is if i can have other directories inside the classes directory and still be called while not being registered in the deployment descriptor ? in otherwords, lets say i have several servlets organized into packages. can i call a servlet thats in a particular package if i fully qualify the class ? guess ill have to try

Web.xml - Tomcat vs iPlanet

I have a web application which was written using Forte with its built-in Tomcat engine. The application works fine in this environment.
I created a war file and put the application on our iPlanet server using wdeploy. I can open a JSP in the document root, but all of the servlets give the error "HTTP 404 - File not found".
Is there a difference in how the servlets must be referenced in the web.xml file for iPlanet vs Tomcat???

Weblogic7.0 requires that servlets be mapped to a
url:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>KioskServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/DriverKiosk.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I don't know specifically about websphere but I
suspect that may be the problem.The servlet was mapped to a URL.
The problem was that Forte did not require a leading slash, while iPlanet did require the slash:
Forte:
<url-pattern>myServlet</url-pattern>
iPlanet:
<url-pattern>/myServlet</url-pattern>

Web.xml configuration for initial servlet load

Hi all,
I have heard of entering some tag into web.xml file (deployement descriptor) if we need some servlets to be loaded wheneve the app server starts or restarts. can some body help me regarding what to write in web.xml.
thanks in advance

I am having some problems with the same issue although specifying the load-on-startup param is not working for.
Here is snipet of the web.xml:
<servlet id="Servlet_1206024889339">
<servlet-name>ContentServer</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>COM.FutureTense.Servlet.SContentServer</servlet-class>
<init-param id="InitParam_1206024988781">
<param-name>inipath</param-name>
<param-value>/data/WebSphere/ContentServer</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
This however doesn't init the contentServer servlet. Is there anythign else i need to check? I am using websphere5-1.
I saw somewhere you might have to specify a loadonstartup=true? Where is this set?
I know the app is reading the right web.xml because i put in a bad value and saw the error being outputted in the startup log.
There are some servlets being initialised on startup but not the ones I want. These servlets don't seem to be in the web.xml.

Read web.xml from a non-servlet class

Hi all, I need to read the web.xml file fron a standard class in a web project.
I know how to do it from a servlet or a jsp page, but is it possible to do from a non-servlet class?
Thank you,
Gabriele

It's a XML file. So best approach would be to use some Java-XML API to parse the XML file into useable nodes. E.g. JAXP, DOM4J, JXPath, etc.

You must declare TestServCon.java on web.xml as you did for the first servlet
and in the sendRedirect use the following code :
response.sendRedirect("TestServCon");//   TestServCon is the servlet mapping you declared in web.xml
//or this
response.sendRedirect("./TestServCon");

How to create a simple web.xml for using servlets

Hello i wanna configure the web.xml that i can use sevlets and beans, but how can i do that?
This is de directorie i have installed my webapp
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\testapp
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\test\WEB-INF\classes (in this dir, I wanna put my beans and servlets, I got one servlet and the name is LogIn.class).
And i wanna request my servlets with the url http://localhost:8080/testapp/servlet/LogIn
How can i create a very basic web.xml with working beans, servlets and session? It is for testing-use only, so the security is not important for me at this moment.
Tnx

under your web-inf
in your web.xml file you must map
the servlets
under the <web-app> tag type
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>com.LogIn</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/LogIn</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>ps: start using some IDE such as NetBeans or Ecclipse
since they will take care of mapping all servlets and Beans
and generate all the necessary files for your web-app

Tomcat 404 error until I apply this change to my web.xml mapping

What is the purpose of the /servlet/ portion of the url-pattern in the servlet mapping element below.
If I use the first few lines I get a 404 class not found error
If I include /servlet/ in the url-pattern element then my app works fine ?????
//Does not work
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>com.onjava.login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
//works !!
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/com.onjava.login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

If the first mapping doesn't work and the second mapping works then my guess is that neither mapping is working. What may be happening is the invoker servlet may be enabled and that would explain why the /servlet url works.
The invoker servlet is set up in the conf/web.xml file. This servlet will invoke a particular servlet using the class name and the /servlet url. In newer versions of tomcat the invoker servlet id disabled by default.
Now the question is why does the servlet mapping not work? What version of tomcat are you running? Can you post the entire web.xml?

Forte & web.xml problem

Hi there,
I hope what I have is a simple problem to fix. I'm running Forte For Java 4 and developing a web application. When I run a servlet (although it works fine) I am getting a run-time error:
ContextConfig[] Configuration error in application web.xml
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Servlet mapping specifies an unknown servlet name ChooseUnit
This has something to do with the fact that I renamed one of my servlets and it didn't update web.xml (when I ran this servlet, it kept trying to use the servlet's old name in the URL). I went into web.xml and added this servlet's new name manually but it still didn't work, so I deleted the offending servlet, making sure that its servlet mappings were also gone from web.xml.
I then made a new servlet of a different name, and every time I run it I get the above error, even though the servlet name in the error no longer exists, nor any reference to it in web.xml.
Anyone got a suggestion as to how to fix this? It seems to be a bug particular to Forte.
Thanks.
Gillian Klee

Never mind, it seems to have sorted itself out with a reboot.

Web.xml problem and using of FrontController Pattern

I use FrontController pattern and created servlet ControllerServlet.
I want that when users open my site (for example mysite.com) all requests goes to controller? and even when users enter diretc path to jsp or servlet all requests were sent to ControllerServlet.
in my As I read in "Java Servlet and JSP CookBook" for this I have to write in web.xml file such code:
<servlet-mapping>
<sevlet-name>ControllerServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</sevlet-mapping>so any requests will be sended to my controller servlet.
But now I have other problem. How I have to call my jsp pages? When I use RequestDispatcher and forward reques to jsp pahe login.jsp, I have error because this request again redirects to controller.
PS For calling servlet I have solve of this problem I just have to add to web.xml file security-constraint element for needed servlets.

You really shouldn't have to map all urls to your ControllerServlet. Set the welcome file in the web.xml to open index.html and in index.html use JavaScript to direct the page to the ControllerServlet. Now as long as you only do RequestDispatcher forwards (no sendRedirects), all hyper links point to the ControllerServlet and all form actions point to the ControllerServlet you are okay. The reason is that the user will nevr see anything else in the browser address other than the ControllerServlet url and should never know the url of any other JSP or Servlet to request them directly.

Tomcat - web.xml

hi guys
I am running Tomcat 5 on my system. Unfortunatly I hava to make an entry in the web.xml for every test servlet I deploy. Is there a way to call a servlet without an entry in the web.xml?
greets
m.

Hi,
I have a doubt , do we really need to make an entry for a servlet in all webservers at web.xml
I was just thinking like, only those servlet which has defined to have some initparam values that are supposed to used within in the servlet should be made as a part of the entry in an web.xml
for ex: database uri/some servlet information which always changes
Im i correct..
Please tell me more abt the same..

Hi All:
Thanks for all your help regarding the adfAuthentication success_url. Now I am able to configure to make this work. But now I am facing another issue i.e. I am getting 401 Not authorized message when the success_url is pointed to the jspx page.
Note: I am using custom login module similar to DBProcOraDataSourceLoginModule so my roles are stored in the custom Role class. So I am not sure how to pass this role info to the security in ADF in order to authorize the page to be viewed.
Could you please help and can you point me to any specific link.
Thanks & Regards

Servlet configuration in Weblogic 5.1.. web.xml vs weblogic.properties..

Can someone please tell me how the <servlet> entry differs from
          weblogic.httpd.register.snoop=examples.servlets.SnoopServlet
          in weblogic properties?
          Do these perform identical functions?


Yes this is the source of my confusiong. It seems to be that WL can be told
          about servlets
          two ways. Firstly through the web.xml file and also via weblogic.properties.
          I don't understand
          why the second one exists.
