Here is the code I found in a manual written at the time of Tomcat 6: The code belongs to a servlet. There is no index.jsp file nor order.html file.
String message; /* * Initializing the message to display : If one of the mandatory fields * is not filled, then we display an error message * else we display a success message */ if ( name.trim().isEmpty() || address.trim().isEmpty() || telephone.trim().isEmpty() || amount == -1 ) { message = "Error - You did not fill all the mandatory fields. <br> <a href=\"createOrder.jsp\">Click here/a> to access the order form."; } else { message = "Order successfuly created !"; } So when I run the project with Tomcat 7 as target, the url : "createOrder.jsp" points to an empty form the first time. But Tomcat 7 returns an error stating that it can't find the jsp. If I comment out the if.. else test and add some pipes with afile.html and index.jsp, the application works. I don't know how to replace the test for Tomcat 7 I'll try to give "name" a value like "ZZZZZ" and test it as you advise.
