Tomcat - The requested resource () is not available, file mp3

Question

I just want to finish a simple HTML 5 example.

    <audio src="2.mp3" controls autoplay>
        Your browser does not support the audio element.
    </audio>

but it can't complete and this is the description from Tomcat:

"The requested resource (/DemoPlaying/2.mp3) is not available."

My folder structure:

YES!!yesterday, i used the same path and it ran but today, it got this bug:( — giggles2710, Mar 19 '13 at 15:53
It's probably _not_ a bug. The error message is pretty clear. The mp3 is not where you think it is. Showing us the folder structure would certainly help. — NilsH, Mar 19 '13 at 15:55
my folder structure: http://s10.postimage.org/oayf8263d/Untitled.jpg — giggles2710, Mar 19 '13 at 16:05
i just rename it to DemoSong.mp3...when i post this question, it's 2.mp3 — giggles2710, Mar 19 '13 at 16:15
That would have been useful information to start with. Nevertheless, the issue is the same. The static file is not under the same path as the path requested when fetching your jsp. — NilsH, Mar 19 '13 at 16:33

It's obvious that your mp3 file is not available at the URL you're trying to request it. Correct your 'src' to point to the correct url.

I think you must remember:

1) If your app is wellformed, then the typical structure is like:

http://myserver:8080/myapp

2) Then your file must be published under the contexto of your app

http://myserver:8080/myapp/mp3file

3) So, in development time your structure must be:

Webcontent
   |
   |--index.jsp
   |--mymp3.mp3
   |--WEB-INF

4) And war file must content the same of Webcontent (or root folder of your app)

Only in that way your file will be detectable by the server, and dont forget to registrer the extension on Tomcat Server
