All grades have been posted.  Have a good summer!


Here is the sequence to see if you can get your servlet running. 

1. Add   extends HttpServlet  to your code.  You can check your code against my code that I generated in class and have since then corrected.

2. Recompile your code.  Make sure that servlets.jar is in your class path.  You must specifically include the file  servlets.jar   not just the directory that it is in in your class path.

3. FTP your .class file up to java.csit.parkland.edu.  Make sure you put it in the /WEB-INF/classes  directory with all the other servlet .class files.

4.  Make sure you have very carefully registered your servlet in the web.xml file in the /WEB-INF  directory.  The full path to this directory on the server is  C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\servlets-examples\WEB-INF     Carefully copy the two sections of code for my   ScottsServlet   and replace   ScottsServlet   with the name of your servlet.  Make sure you don't change any other code in your two sections.  Carefully compare your new code with the existing code before you save it.  You only have to do this step once.  As long as your servlet keeps the same name, your registration will be refreshed each time you Reload servlets-examples in step 5. below.

5. Go to  http://java.csit.parkland.edu:8080  which is the Tomcat Program and log into the Tomcat Manager under Administration.  In the Tomcat Web Application Manager page, click on Reload for servlets-examples      This restarts your servlet with your new .class file.  Otherwise it is still using the old code.

6. Test your servlet by going to  http://java.csit.parkland.edu:8080/servlets-examples/servlet/YourServletName       You should see the results of your servlet in your browser.  Look at the address carefully!   /servlets-examples  are both plural but   /servlet   is not.  Also, the beginning  http://  is necessary and the servlet will not work without it.
