So Ive been banging my head against a wall for this.
I followed this tutorial on Tomcat 7 servlets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKaNotLIGqE
But When I run the servlet I get a 404 error. The video claims what the descriptor file doesnt need the server mappings as tomcat 7 takes care of it.
my servlet:
package com.helloworld.servlets;
import java.io.*;
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 HelloWorld
*/
@WebServlet("/HelloWorld")
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/**
* @see HttpServlet#HttpServlet()
*/
public HelloWorld() {
super();
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
/**
* @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
*/
@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html><body><h1>Hello From Chris </body></html>");
}
my web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 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">

</web-app>
Error Message:

Appreiciate your thoughts all. Thanks
