Accessing servlets via http://.../servlet/... does not work!

[vincev]

Hi, my problem is, that I can not access my servlet with http://localhost/servlet/HelloWorld

In META-INF/application I defined
<context-root>/</context-root>
and in WEB-INF/web.xml I defined
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

I can access http://localhost (and of course http://localhost/index.htm)

But I can't access http://localhost/servlet/HelloWorld

After defining
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.maxHTML</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
in WEB-INF/web.xml I can access my HelloWorld servlet with URLs like
http://localhost/blub.maxHTML or http://localhost/what/is/going/wrong.maxHTML

Any Idea what I am doing wrong?

btw: dos.ear from http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ shows the same problem...

I use JBoss3.0.3 with Tomcat4.1.12 with Java1.4.0_02 on Win2000. I attached my helloWorld.ear

thanx, Max

attaching helloWorld.ear did not work... sorry

I managed to solve the problem on my own. :)

The "<servlet-mapping>" in %JBOSS_HOME%/tomcat4.1.12/conf/web.xml for the servlet "invoker" was commented out. This servlet loads other servlets and is by default mapped to "/servlet/*" on Tomcat4 (without jboss). Now it's working and it invokes my servlets...
