can't run my hello servlet on jboss

[proceed99]

I'm having difficulity running simple hello servlet on jboss 3.0 but runs fine on tomcat 4 (as a test reslult for forte ide).

The following is my hello servlet,


import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class hello extends HttpServlet {

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);

}
public void destroy() {

}

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
java.io.PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("");
out.println("");
out.println("Servlet");
out.println("");
out.println("");

out.println("<h1>hello world java servlet</h1>");

out.println("");
out.println("");

out.close();
}
}


And here is the web.xml,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>


<servlet-name>helloServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>hello</servlet-class>


<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>helloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

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

</web-app>


I did deploy the war file into server/default/deploy directory. Where went wrong, please help.

I think you should change

"<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>helloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
"

to

"
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>helloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
"

then

modify ACTION = hello in form

you can test it.

[proceed99]

Still can't work,

HTTP Status 404 - /hello

The requested resource (/hello) is not available.

Seems like I don't have the proper path to the hello servlet.

Jboss3 is a EJB container, not a jsp/servlet Engine.

Tomcat4 is jsp/servlet Engine.


you use Jboss3 to test the Hello rather than Jboss3/tomcat4 bundle?

[proceed99]

I am using Jboss 3 with tomcat 4 bundle.

As you can see, I am trying to test to a very simple hello servlet. But the hello page doesn't come up in the browser.

Please help, instruction needed.

Since the servlet is in hello.war, to reach the hello servlet you need to write:

http://localhost:8080/hello/hello

The first "hello" is for the webapp, the second is for the servlet.

OK!

you should call the URL:
===================
http://localhost:8080/hello/hello.html
=====================
I test your Hello in my computer, Wonderful!

by the way, I support:
1. according thd java spec, first char of class name should is uppercase
2. servlet should answer both GET and POST method type, only add:
-------------------------------

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
{
doGet(request, response);
}

------------------------------------
3. do had better, move "destroy()" to the end of Servlet.

[proceed99]

I don't know why I can't see my hello servlet on the browser deployed as a web module hello.war

But it works fine when I deployed as hello.ear

Strange for me, did i miss anything in the jboss configuration??

[dudoes]

Hi,

Maybe you should put your Hello in a Package,you only add:
--------------
package mytest;

-----------------

at top of hello.java


and change web.xml:
-----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>


<servlet-name>helloServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>mytest.hello</servlet-class>


<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>helloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

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

</web-app>
-----------------------

I try to package the java file as you mentioned, but didn't work for me. Still can't not deploy as war file, but ok for ear file.

Do I need to setup web server to make it work?

[ttimm]

I have the same problem. As described above the example works fine when the war is placed in a EAR file. When placing the war file in the default deploy dir, JBoss reports an [Engine] internal error no Web.xml found, as if it was unable to read the web.xml file.

If anyone knows the answer please let us know. Seems strange to me that it works just by placing the same war file in an EAR file.

I just tried to put your hello.war file and jboss just seems to do nothing !!

I'm still stuck trying to deploy web apps with jboss...

I need help too...

[dudoes]

Hi,folks!

Plz use Jboss3.0.1RC1/Tomcat4.0.4, I deploy Hello to it.

all is OK!

[rsie]

Could you please tell me where to get this distribution?

thanks

[dudoes]

Search JBOSS.NET,or Jboss3.0.1RC1,Tomcat4 in http://sourceforge.net,you can find it, I can not reach sourceforge.net now
