i'm using derek banas's tutorials to learn servlets right now. or at least, i'm trying to! i keep encountering a 404 error when i submit my form.
here is my code. first, the java class:
package helloservlets;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
/**
* Servlet implementation class Lesson41
*/
@WebServlet
public class Lesson41 extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/**
* @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
*/
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String usersName = request.getParameter("yourname");
String theLang = request.getParameter("Language");
int firstNum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("firstnum"));
int secondNum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("secondnum"));
int sumONum = firstNum + secondNum;
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter output = response.getWriter();
output.println("<html><body><h3>Hello " + usersName);
output.println("</h3><br />" + firstNum + " + " + secondNum);
output.println(" = " + sumONum + "<br />Speaks " + theLang + "</body></html>");
}
/**
* @see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
*/
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(request, response);
}
}
my web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Lesson41</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Lesson41</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
and my html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="US-ASCII">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="http://localhost:8080/Lesson41/">
What's your name?<br /> <input name="yourname" /><br /> First
Number <input name="firstnum" /><br /> Second Number <input
name="secondnum" /><br /> <input type="hidden" name="Language"
value="English" /><br /> <input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
in my console, i am getting this warning:
WARNING: [SetContextPropertiesRule]{Context} Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:Lesson41' did not find a matching property.
and that's the only warning i'm getting. i googled it and followed the advice i found here, but it hasn't fixed my problem.
thank you in advance for any help!
