[Solved] Please Restart Tomcat Server.

[vaninf]

I just put file web.xml in folder /home/vaninf/public_html/WEB-INF/

 

Please restart Tomcat server.

Thanks.

Restarted.

Why doesn't the servlet mapping in web.xml work?

 

My web.xml is in folder /home/vaninf/public_html/WEB-INF/

 

Is it caused by configuration of Tomcat?

[Krydos]

Are you including that in your .war?

[vaninf]

It has nothing to do with .war file, I didn't create .war file. I uploaded the servlet class files and web.xml into /home/vaninf/public_html/WEB-INF/ folder by myself, I accessed http://vaninf.heliohost.org/index.htm

to invoke the servlet because index.htm is mapped to the servlet. The server shows "The requested URL /index.htm

was not found on this server."

 

I think this is caused by Apache http server, it must have been configured to pass only .jsp file requests to Tomcat server, so

all other file requests are blocked by Apache http server, they can't reach Tomcat server. So the servlet mapping defined in

web.xml are not used when we access http://vaninf.heliohost.org/index.htm, because index.htm is not .jsp file name.

 

Am I right?

[Krydos]

Yes, Apache is much better at serving html files. Tomcat handles .jsp etc.

Why do you keep requesting for them to be deployed then? http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/28363-please-deploy-my-war-file/ http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/28339-please-deploy-my-war-file/ http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/28326-please-deploy-my-war-file/ ?

To prove you and I are correct, I have changed the servlet mapping in web.xml, now the servlets

are mapped to .jsp file names. I have uploaded web.xml again. To let the new web.xml take effect,

Tomcat server should be restarted. Could you please restart Tomcat server? Thanks

[Krydos]

Restarted.

[vaninf]

The deployed war files don't work as expected because request.getServerName(), request.getServerPort()

and request.getContextPath() return wrong values. My web application won't work if I deploy it this way.

The new servlet mapping defined in web.xml still doesn't work. Could you please find out why?

Another user was having issues with the way we proxy Tomcat through Apache so that Apache can handle the static files, and Tomcat can handle the java scripts. He was able to figure it out. Perhaps his guide will help you? http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/28053-solved-deploy-war-app-request/?p=128900

[vaninf]

His guide doesn't help me.

[Krydos]

Handling the proxy paths is also explained on our wiki http://wiki.helionet.org/Java_Servlet#Edit_index.jsp_Source

[vaninf]

Krydos, I have changed the servlet code and web.xml.

 

Could you please restart the Tomcat server?

[Krydos]

Restarted.

[vaninf]

Thank you Krydos,

 

My servlets are fully working now!
