JSP Servlet error

[a_stannard]

Hi on my first attempt to implement a simple example of a MVC application I get a 403 error.

I am using JBoss-2.4.3_Jetty-3.1.3

I use a WAR file that contains the jsp's and the servlet, and a JAR that contains an EJB. The WAR and JAR are then wrapped inside an EAR file.

The jsp's (http://localhost:8080/servlets/EShop.jsp) display fine but when I try a submit action and an http request is supost to be passed onto the servlet I get:

HTTP ERROR: 403 Forbidden
RequestURI=/servlets/web-inf/classes/servlets/ShoppingServlet

all help appreciated

Post with more detail to [e-mail].

It sounds to me like you have some security declared which is protecting the url you are trying to access.

Tell them the url the submit posts to and the contents of yor web.xml,

More info:

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>

<servlet-name>ShoppingServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlets.ShoppingServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
<init-param>

You need to have a servlet mapping to find the
servlet via an URL, the package name is NOT used
to find it.

I.e.
Add:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ShoppingServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ShoppingServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

To the web.xml, after the declaration.
Then change the URL in the JSP page to

"/servlets/ShoppingServlet"

(since it seems you use a web-app name of "servlets"
which is a bit strange")
or just

ShoppingServlet

should work too, if the jsp is in the "root" of
the webapp.
