Simple Web App Deploy Fails

briana Aug 2, 2004 12:38 PM

I'm new to Jboss and I'm getting a deploy failure when deploying a test.war file to \jboss-3.2.5\server\default\deploy for a simple servlet test.
My Web application fails install (No EJBs), so I'm going to basics. Am I missing something here?

The war file includes:

WEB-INF\web.xml
WEB-INF\jboss-web.xml (nothing added from empty template)
WEB-INF\classes\TestingServlet.class

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Here is the servlet code... pretty straight forward.

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class TestingServlet extends HttpServlet {

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

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("");
out.println("");
out.println("Servlet Testing");
out.println("");
out.println("");
out.println("Welcome to the Servlet Testing Center");
out.println("");
out.println("");
}
}

Are there any errors higher in the output?

I think I got them all, but I just realized I should also be checking the log files. I looked at server.log and see some additional detail. One error is

ERROR [org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig] Parse error in application web.xml
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Servlet mapping specifies an unknown servlet name TestingServlet

A second is "Incomplete Deployment Listing"

Here's the web.xml - I tried also tried adding the tag <servlet-class>TestingServlet</servlet-class> with the same errors. Are there other required config files for this simple servlet deployment?

Is this the full text of your web.xml file? If so, you need to declare the servlet before you declare it's mapping. Like this:

I tried your suggestion and it looks like we're making progress. The server.log now gives the below error. The exact web.xml is also listed below. Do you know why this URL pattern would be invalid?

I hope the un-tag-enclosed strings "HR Misc Apps" and "Test Servlet" are actually in CDATA tags like this:

<description><![CDATA[None Available]]></description>

If you use the code and /code tags inside [] it will display your code properly.

The URL patter must begin with a "/" So try /test instead of test, or you could try /test/testservlet. This path is relative to the context root of the webserver, so with /test as a URL pattern your servlet would be accessed via something like http://localhost:8080/test. Using the /test/testservlet pattern your servlet would be accessed via http://localhost:8080/test/testservlet.

There is a possible pitfall here. If you did not define a form with a METHOD=POST declaration, and use that html form to access your servlet your servlet will not work! If you try to browse to http://localhost:8080/test directly you will get an error. The reason why is that you implemented the doPost method, and a browser's default action is GET.

briana Aug 4, 2004 11:50 AM (in response to briana)

Adding the / to test corrected the issue and JBoss is now deploying it without errors. I haven't set up an html file to test this and just wanted to be able to deploy the servlet. I'll go back to my Web app and appropriately configure the web.xml and attempt to deploy it. It's odd that Tomcat 3.2.4 allowed it to run fine without many of the tags required by either the newer version or JBoss 3.2.5

Thanks for your assistance!
