EDIT: I've sent this twice because the first one contained an error in what I wrote. Ignore the first one.
Hi all, Apologies for the stupidity of this email but I'm having a few servlet problems. I've created the following SearchServlet.java file, compiled it into a class file using Netbeans then copied the class file into my WEB-XML/classes file. Now for testing the servlet is very limited but when I try to run the jsp page the page is redirected to http://localhost:8080/WEB-INF/classes/SearchServlet?itemvalue=type+search+criteria+here and not /searchnone.jsp as specified. When it's redirected to the first page though all I get is my error.jsp page which is set up to catch 404 error pages as defined in my web.xml page. So it isn't finding something, what I don't know though. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Mark searchitem.jsp: <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <p class="subhead">Item Search Page</p> <p> Use this page to search through the different items that we stock. All searches are done by key words. If using multiple words please use a comma after every different word.</i>. </p> <p> <FORM ACTION="WEB-INF/classes/SearchServlet" METHOD="GET"> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="itemvalue" SIZE="100" VALUE="type search criteria here"><br> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT"> </FORM> </p> <p> <a href="search.jsp">Return to the main search page</a> </p> </td> </tr> </table> SearchServlet.java import java.io.*; import java.net.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class SearchServlet extends HttpServlet { public void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { String address = "/searchnone.jsp"; RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher(address); dispatcher.forward(request, response); } protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { processRequest(request, response); } void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { processRequest(request, response); } public String getServletInfo() { return "Short description"; } } web.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; version="2.4"> <!-- Specifies the first page that users will come to in the system --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>/index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <!-- Specifies the error page that will occur for 404 errors --> <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/error.jsp</location> </error-page> <!-- Database connection test --> <resource-ref> <description>DB Connection</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/TestDB</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> <servlet> <servlet-name>SearchServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>SearchServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>SearchServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/searchmatch.jsp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>SearchServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/searchmatch.jsp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <!-- Specifies the security area within the system --> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Secure Area</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/secure/*</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> <http-method>POST</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <user-data-constraint> <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint> </security-constraint> </web-app>
