Note: I had start using GlassFish now.
I have Intellij Idea 14.1.1 and Tomcat 8.0.21, I have create a jsp file called index.jsp with and a servlet called TestServlet, i have added the servlet in the web.xml file. The index.jsp file contain a form which action parameter is set to TestServlet and the method is get the form contain only one button. When I run the index.jsp everything is working normal, then when I click the button i get redirected to "http://localhost:8080/TestServlet" and i get HTTP Status 404 - /TestServlet Here is the full content of the page:
HTTP Status 404 - /TestServlet
type Status report
message /TestServlet
description The requested resource is not available.
Apache Tomcat/8.0.21
Here is the code from index.jsp
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Test works!</p>
<form action="TestServlet" method="get">
<button>click me</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
here is the code from the TestServlet
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
@WebServlet(name = "TestServlet")
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("The servlet works!");
}
}
Here is the web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
version="3.1">
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>TestServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>TestServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
I hadn't do anything with the TomCat configuration, I only had restarted when I had create the TestServlet and updated the web.xml file. What am I missing?
