I'm seeing a problem while attempting to run a java servlet under eclipse (Ganymede), I'm running Java 1.6 and Apache Tomcat 6.0.
Here is what i am doing:
- Stop Tomcat.
- New Dynamic webproject.
- Call the project TestProject
- Use default options: Context = "TestProject", Context Directory = "WebContent", Java Source Directory = "src"
- Right click on project and select new servlet
- Use default package and call the class "HelloTest" all other options are defult
- Change URL Mapping to /hello
The Code for the servlet is as follows (I've only edited the doGet and doPost methods everything else is generated):
import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; /** * Servlet implementation class HelloTest */ public class HelloTest extends HttpServlet { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; /** * @see HttpServlet#HttpServlet() */ public HelloTest() { super(); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub } /** * @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) */ protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter(); writer.write("Hello World"); writer.flush(); } /** * @see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) */ protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { doGet(request,response); } } Here is how I try to run the project: 1. Save the project 2. Right click on the project and select run on server. 3. Select existing Tomcat server 4. Click Finish.
When I try to browse to http://localhost:8080/TestProject/hello I get an exception saying that the class was not found.
javax.servlet.ServletException: Wrapper cannot find servlet class HelloTest or a class it depends on org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:286) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:845) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:583) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) root cause
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HelloTest org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1387) org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1233) org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:286) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:845) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:583) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) Am I doing something wrong?
If I add a .jsp page called test.jsp it displays perfectly, so I know Tomcat is running and serving pages and that I have the right path.
