Hi,

I've installed the Tomcat JSP plugins in Cpanel, and one of my clients want to run a servlet, after enabling the jsp support from WHM for that client, he could only run jsp but not servlet, keep getting the "404 Error" while accessing the servlet file at http://clientdomain.com/servlets/servlet.class

the home directory for putting the servlet file is /home/username/public_html/servlets/

Any solution for that? Since it's a plugins and I don't know what kind of configurations is different from the original Tomcat JSP, thanks!

Make sure he maps the servlet in his web.xml file.

You have to access the servlet by class name only. No .class suffix.

So access it like this: http://www.domain.com/servlets/MyServlet

when I try to access http://domain.com/servlets/Myservlet (without the .class) I got Tomcat Error 404....

What does the error log say?

(dumb question: You didn't just use MyServlet, did you?)

Peter

I can't see the error of jsp from error log, but I get the following error in browser:

Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 - HTTP Status 404 - /servlets/CSMailForm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /servlets/CSMailForm

description The requested resource (/servlets/CSMailForm) is not available.

A couple of questions,

1)Did you make sure the java installation works? (that it works with other client's sites)

2)Have you mapped /servlets to be tthe path to execute servlet?

3)Have you verified that the file exists and its permission is set correctly?

Peter

replying your questions...

1) I install the Tomcat JSP plugins from Cpanel, jsp is not installed on every virtual sites, I have to enable jsp for a client in WHM

2) I checked the Apache conf file, after enabling jsp support from Cpanel, it automatically added the lines:

JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /servlets/* ajp13

so servlet is runable in /servlet or /servlets

3) Yes it's exist and it's already chomd to 755

did you mapped your servlets in the web.xml in the WEB-INF folder?

jasonm,

try this:

1. create folder WEB-INF in /home/username/public_html

2. create sub-folder /home/username/public_html/WEB-INF/classes

3. put your servlet class files in folder "classes"

4. you do not need to chmod 755 :)

5. create a web.xml in WEB-INF where you will need to map the servlet. you can find more details in docs or examples. but anyway here's something to start:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>

<servlet>
<servlet-name>
HelloWorldServlet
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
HelloWorldServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
HelloWorldServlet
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/HellowWorldServlet
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>


Hope this helps :)

not working for me :(
