Are you using IE as your browser?
If so, go to
Tools -> Internet options -> Advanced
and make sure the "show friendly HTTP error messages" option is turned OFF.
You should get a slightly usefull error message coming back then.

Christian Sell et al,
Thank you for your help.
WRT
"<aside> its always useful to describe WHAT error you
are getting </aside>"
Good point. I had a brain brownout.
The only error I got was from the browser.
The error was HTTP 500 - Internal server error
when I posted to
<form
action="/employee-app/com.objectgeneration.sample.EmployeeForm"
method="post">
and the error was also HTTP 500 when I posted to
<form action="/employee-app" method="post">
I tried your first suggestion, i.e., I posted with
<form
action="/employee-app/servlet/com.objectgeneration.sample.EmployeeForm"
method="post">
with the existing setup and I get....
You guessed it HTTP 500...
That is okay at least I got the Post format correct.
So in additon to the problem you helped me with... I
have yet another problem....what a mess I am.
On to your second suggestion. I see that you changed
the name of the servlet, but I am not sure what else
you did.... nor am I sure what is different other than
the shorter name, i.e., I already had a servlet
mapping. But just in case I am an idiot (which I wont
rule out). I followed what you wrote to a tee.
[opps I just saw that i forgot to include my servlet
mapping.... sorry another brain brownout.]
BTW I also tried someone elses idea of what the
servlet mapping should look like, and it did not seem
to work. I think I don't have the post correct for a
corresponding servlet mapping.
What would be the post for that mapping?
i.e., what would the post look like for the mapping
that you suggested??
I think it would look like
<form action="/employee-app" method="post">
or maybe
<form action="/employee-app/" method="post">
I get a 500 with both of the above.
I seems like Orion is finding things okay because
I get this message when it starts up....
Auto-unpacking
D:\Personal\Proto\CodeGen\Employee3\rel\employee-app.ear...
done.
Auto-unpacking
D:\Personal\Proto\CodeGen\Employee3\rel\employee-app\employee-app
-web.war... done.
Auto-deploying employee-app (Assembly had been
updated)...
Orion/1.3.8 initialized
Again it works with the version that I installed in
the default web application directory.
The trusty tried and true....
<form
action="/servlet/com.objectgeneration.sample.EmployeeForm"
method="post">
The above works.
Christian.... thank you for your help.

BTW I used ant to build the orion-primer and then some
other stuff. I am new to Ant, but I dig it. It is like
make but easy and geared towards java.
