Hello all ,

I have installed tomcat on my machine

my server.xml reads something like

<Host name="www.domainname.com">
<Context path="" docBase="/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs" debug="0"/>
</Host>

In my httpsd.conf i have
Jkmount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13

My problem

www.domainname.com/*.jsp RUN FINE
where do i upload servlets

I created a servlet folder in the docbase and run

www.domainname.com/servlet/ServletName and It gives me 404 error , Page not found

what error i have made here,
Finally after lots of problems my tomcat is about to work on a plesk box, so just need last bit of advise here

You need to load the servlet which usually ends with .class
into an HTMl file. There is special syntax to use for that, not sure which one.

Hi

I thought servlets were always accessed by sitename.com/servlet/ServletName
where ServletName.class is the file name,

I am doing like this on another server on apache jserv

How can i embedd .class file into a .html as you have said here
can u give some more information

As i have stated my jsp files are working perfect and also my jdbc database connectivity

Palm is confusing servlets and applets. Applets get called from a .html file.

Servlets do get called as you said. Sort of.

Tomcat has made everything very "flexible" and hence complicated. There's a whole directory structure you need to create. Look under the webapps directory where tomcat is installed for some examples. And read the documentation :)

I tried to create paths like /examples/servlet and placed the class file within that but still does not work

THis is really annoying jsp working and not servlets

Ok in the following
<Host name="www.domainname.com">
<Context path="" docBase="/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs" debug="0"/>
</Host>

Does anyone know what is Context path="" for ?

Please help me

Actually I am not.
When I wanted to run servlets, I always called them through HTML, and it worked good.

If you have done it that way please can you tell me how?

I lost the page that has a tutorial, I could try to find out.

Hi

I finally managed to get it working

jnestor - your advise was helpful , indeed the paths were to be created.
I had to make WEB-INF/classes within Docbase

and anything within classes could be accessed as /servlet/ServletName

Also checked for jdbc connectivity to mysql and that too was satisfactory , luckily,

But i am not sure if we should support tomcat for our hosting customers.
Tomcat is really a pain.
