WAR files
Can anyone point me to some information about creating WAR files. Supposedly you can create them with deploytool, but I only know how to do this with the gui version and don't have an x-windows server on the server I'm working on. I've also read that you can use jartool to create WAR files, but the instructions said you will need to create your own version of the deployment descriptor. What does this mean? create my own web.xml? I have a web.xml but don't really use it for much (not all the servlets are in the web.xml). Is there anything special we need to do in the web.xml/deployment descriptor file? and will a WAR created with the jar tool preserve the directory structure of the application? Thanks! e.
RE: Generate Excel File
Actually that's how it was formatted. I tried what someone else suggested, using tabs instead of commas, and that worked.

But if I remember correctly, the CSV text below will display correctly in Excel: Item,Price Doll,30 GameBoy,200 You'd have two rows and two columns (with headers Item and Price) of data. If the CSV data you're feeding Excel is not formatted like this, then chances are that you'd get wrong results - that explains why your single row of data isn't showing up correctly.

How to forward with new request/query string?
I was wondering how you go about transferring control from a servlet to another page (in this case a jsp page) before committing the response. I need to send request variables to this new page. I've tried using a request dispatcher, but I believe that this just sends the request that the servlet got and not a new one with the querystring values (which are appended to the url I want to forward to) in it. Can someone tell me how to do this? Also, what's the difference between sendRedirects, dispatcher forwards, etc. ? and is there any way to transfer control to another page and have the user's location bar reflect the address of the new page? Any help would be appreciated! - Erin

web.xml not working
I have created a web application as per the Servlet API specs and deployed it into the webapps directory of Tomcat in a directory called 'sampleapp.' The only way that I am able to access the webapp's servlet (which is in sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes) is by the url 'SERVERADDRESS/sampleapp/servlet/SERVLETNAME' and this is only when I don't have a web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory. When I place the web.xml file that I created (using to the documents on the Sun and Jakarta sites) I am unable to find my servlet. The servlet mapping in the web.xml file looks like this: servlet servlet-nameStoryGeneratorServlet/servlet-name servlet-classStoryGenerator/servlet-class /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-nameStoryGeneratorServlet/servlet-name url-pattern/story/url-pattern /servlet-mapping I tried using the urls 'SERVERNAME/sampleapp/servlet/story' and 'SERVERNAME/sampleapp/story' I also tried to install the J2EE sample 'petstore' web application but had problems accessing the servlets with it too. I am able to get to the jsps and static files okay. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Erin PS - I'm using Tomcat 3.2 with Apache 1.3 on Sun 2.7
Tomcat stops running ...
I have Apache 1.3 and Tomcat 3.2 installed on Sun 2.7. I have had no problems with Apache, but Tomcat seems to stop running after a short period of time (a few hours). I restart it and it seems to work fine. I also haven't seen any error messages popping up. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks! Erin
Re: web.xml not working
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's it. According to the Java Servlet Spec. v2.2 (ch. 13, pg 65), servlet-mapping isn't contained within the servlet element, but is a seperate element. In my original post I said I couldn't have a web.xml file in my application. That was incorrect, I am able to have a web.xml file, but the servlet mappings in it aren't working. To clarify, my servlet isn't in a package. - Erin On Tue, 26 Jun 2001, Charles Baker wrote: Here is a servlet definition from my web.xml file: servlet servlet-name Login /servlet-name servlet-class com.beeslender.servlets.LoginServlet /servlet-class servlet-mapping servlet-name Login /servlet-name url-pattern /Login /url-pattern /servlet-mapping /servlet Notice that servlet-mapping is a child of servlet. Also, did you create your servlets as part of a package? If so, you need a directory structure under $TOMCAT_HOME/sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes that matches your package. For example, $TOMCAT_HOME/sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/beeslender/servlets That's where the *.class files would go. --- Erin Lester [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have created a web application as per the Servlet API specs and deployed it into the webapps directory of Tomcat in a directory called 'sampleapp.' The only way that I am able to access the webapp's servlet (which is in sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes) is by the url 'SERVERADDRESS/sampleapp/servlet/SERVLETNAME' and this is only when I don't have a web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory.
