Load index.jsp as welcome file

[pepelara]

Hi all again,

I am working with an application that counts then number of total entries on the server as well as the number entries of those in my DB.

I use a JSP as welcome file (index.jsp) that is included into the web.xml.

To count the total entries in the server I use a Session Bean and for any particular entry of the members of the application I use an Entity Bean

I control all from a Servlet that call both Session and Entity Bean and response to the index.jsp entry.

The index.jsp is a form with a textbox and a submit button.

It is working but does not doing what I want. It is just a question of debugging. My problem is when I write the URL on the browser, I mean,

http://localhost:8080/entrada/index.jsp

the browser shows me the response of the servlet. The application passes over the index.jsp going to the servlet response.


Any idea?

Thank you in advance,
pepelara

PS:
I guess the problem is in any of the descriptors: web.xml or aplication.xml

This is my web.xml file,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!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>
 <servlet-name>ServletEntrada</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>es.deusto.servlet.ServletEntrada</servlet-class>
 </servlet>

 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>ServletEntrada</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

And this is my application.xml file,

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

Hello,
not sure if I have understood clearly, but why do you have your
servlet mapped as "/*" ?

<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>ServletEntrada</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

I think it will intercept all requests this way.....
shouldn't you rather define an endpoint "/myservlet" and recall it from the jsp action ?

Thank you Francis,

You have had a good idea.
Now my application works ok.

Thank you again,

Hi,

Following with my application UserEntries I have took out the connection to my DB from the Entity EJB and I leave it alone in a package es.deusto.dbaccessor with my connection class DBConnection.class.

My problem is that when I create my ear, it seems as if the application does not find up this class. When I call this class, on the first line of code, the server return me a NullPointerException.

I think that I am not building right my ear because when I deploy it on JBoss 4.2.2 GA
appears on the console my ejb.jar, my servlet.war, but nothing about dbaccessor-client.jar

Thanking in advance,
pepelara
