how to run servlet from a real website
Hi
I wrote a servlet and it is working just fine on my tomcat (localhost), I registered for a website with a shared tomcat but I donot know how to run my servlets, I have the following in my website
/public_html/WEB-INF/classes
I read the FAQ of the service provider and I found the following:
Quote:
Servlet Set Up
To setup servlet, you need to configure servlet into the file web.xml which needs to be placed in WEB-INF directory inside your public_html folder.
www root directory or webapps:/public_html
Classes directory located WEB-INF/Classes/
There you will need to upload your Java class file.
Our default url-mapping for servlet is: /servlet/* or /servlets/*
To check servlet in your browser:
www.mydomain.net/servlet/HelloWorld
I understood most of it but what will I write in the <url-pattern> assuming my servlet is called timeTest, will it be like this ?
<url-pattern>/servlet/timeTest</url-pattern>
Right now this is my web.xml file ( I took it from netbeans and changed the url-pattern section).
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>timeTest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>timeTest</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>timeTest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/timeTest</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>
30
</session-timeout>
</session-config>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
I am doing it right or I am getting wrong somewhere ?
Any reviews, comments are highly appreciated.
Best Regards.
