JSP The requested resource is not available

Question

I have this error when i started loginPage.jsp form and type a username and password :

type Status report

message /WHFM/LoginServlet.java

description The requested resource is not available.

What am i missing? I read article about same problem, but I think case sensitive is right, here.

 <form name="loginForm" method="Post" action="LoginServlet.java">
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Username:</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="uname"></td></tr>


    <tr><td>Password:</td>
    <td><input type="password" name="pass"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"></td></tr>
    </table>

    </form>

and servlet is :

 protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    DBConnection connString = new DBConnection();
    String query = "";
    String username= request.getParameter("uname");
    String password = request.getParameter("pass");
    int counter= 0;

    try {
         response.setContentType("text/html");
            PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
        connString.getConnection();
        query="Select * from user where username='"+username+"' and password='"+password+"' ";
        System.out.println(query);
        Statement st = connString.getConnection().createStatement();
        ResultSet rs= st.executeQuery(query);
        while(rs.next()){
            counter++;
        }
        if(counter>0){
            response.sendRedirect("welcome.jsp");
        }
        else{
            response.sendRedirect("LoginPage.jsp");
        }

this is my XML:

  <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
  <display-name>WHFM</display-name>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
     </welcome-file-list>


<servlet>

<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlets.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/LoginServletPath</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

In action in html form i must write url-patter : "LoginServletPath"... — KeySi, Jan 16 '13 at 19:49

The <form action> URL must not point to the class file name of the servlet class. It must point to an URL which is publicly accessible by a webbrowser, exactly the one as you'd need to enter in browser's address bar.

You have mapped the servlet on an URL pattern of /LoginServletPath, so it is available by http://localhost:8080/WHFM/LoginServletPath, so you need to fix your <form action> URL accordingly:

<form action="LoginServletPath">

or, if you prefer to be able to move your JSP file around everywhere without worrying about relative URLs,

<form action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/LoginServletPath">

Unrelated to the concrete problem, your JDBC code is leaking resources. I'd fix that as soon as possible.

make sure that you located all classes in webapp folder and mapping your 'servlet' and a 'servlet-mapping' are in your web.xml

like :

<servlet>

<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>your.package.name.HelloWorld</servlet-class>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>
