HFSJ ServetContext Listener demo, error 404, /listenerTest/ListenTest.do not found

Hi ranchers!

I am trying to run the ServletContextListener demo from HFSJ, pg 170-177. However, I get an error message when I try to access the url http://localhost:8080/listenerTest/ListenTest.do:

HTTP Status 404 - /listenerTest/ListenTest.do

type Status report

message /listenerTest/ListenTest.do

description The requested resource (/listenerTest/ListenTest.do) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.25

Tried though I have, I can't find any mistake(s) in my web.xml file. Here it is :



And here is the tomcat directory structure for the app:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat5.5\webapps\listenerTest>dir /s

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Have you looked in the Tomcat logs to see if there were any errors reported?

Also, take a look at the "List Applications" in the Tomcat manager application to see if your app has been deployed.

http://localhost:8080/manager/html

Thanks for your time, Ben!

I opened the manager page and the application was listed in the list of deployed applications and there are no errors located in the Tomcat logs.

Does the status in the deployed application list state that the application is running?

I am just curious whether the order of the tag in the web.xml matter, like if the context-param should be placed before the servlet configuration
