How do I get servlets to work on tomcat 6.0.20 ?
HTML and JSPs are working for me.
Ok, I know it seems that this question turns up a lot
(for previous releases), having Googled and read
many sites over the last week. But none of the
advice works for me. So, I am turning to the list.
Detaisl fo what i have been trying to do follow
Followed a tutorial on the "javaboutique" web site; actually
seems to be for tomcat 4, but I did not believe this basic
servlet test would have changed (??)
Note that I shutdown/started between each step below (many times actually).
1. I downloaded and installed Tomcat 6.0.20 on my own id, Linux Red Hat 5
system,
started the server on port 8080, checked access to the Tomcat supplied
pages - all ok.
Also installed Sun JDK 1.5 onto my own id and point JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME
at it.
Initially was running using rocket 64 bit JRE.
2. Created Hello.html and Hello.jsp as per tutorial, in sub-directory
INSTALLATION_DIR/webapps/ROOT/Hello
Pointed my browser (IE 7) at these and they WORK fine.
3. Compiled servlet HelloServlet as per tutorial and placed into sub-directory
INSTALLATION_DIR/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes
4. Initially pointed my browser at
http://<my_web_address>:8080/servlet/HelloServlet
and got the well known HTTP 404 message
5. Tried editing
INSTALLION_DIR/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml
to set in particular the url-pattern but still got the 404 message.
6. Then edited the INSTALLATION_DIR/conf/server.xml file to uncomment
the INVOKER servlet option.
When trying to access
http://<my_web_address>:8080/servlet/HelloServlet
I not longer get the 404 message but a message from IE 7 staying that
it could
contact the web site but more or less that the file was not available.
7. I do notice in the catalina.out log file that there is an exception
being thrown
wit a a message regarding Security exception - that the Invoker is a
privileged mode
and that the "examples" directory cannot be handled.
Needless to say I have not touched the examples directory.
Thanks in advance.
Charles.
