Calling a servlet from a form but the servlet is never invoked?

The web. Xml looks fine, so the problem lies somewhere else.

The web. Xml looks fine, so the problem lies somewhere else. URL is plain wrong.

Relative URL's must be extracted from its absolute form based on the current request URL or -if any- the HTML tag. Take care: the leading slash takes you to the domain root! This is not necessarily the correct solution as others here seem to think, especially not if webapp has a context path.

Package/classname in web. Xml doesn't match actual Servlet class (casesensitive! ) Servlet class isn't in the classpath of the running webproject.At least, not at the expected location.

Servlet class failed to load/initialize. Read appserver logs for exception/error details. There's actually more in web.

Xml, e.g. Another servlet which eats *. Do and got precedence. You aren't running the webproject with the particular web.

Xml you think you are. Doubleverify, rebuild, redeploy and restart.

Thanks very useful as a general checklist, I am sure someone will find that list useful in the near future. – Ankur Feb 12 '10 at 15:07.

There's no leading '/' in your call to SeedSearch.

Actually the same error occurs without the / - I added that in desperation hoping it might change things. I have removed it, as that is the way the code is. – Ankur Feb 12 '10 at 13:50 It would only return 404 if there's a context.

Perhaps you are mapping "*. Do" in somewhere else (struts may be? ) and your servlet is never called.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I just added the . Do to try something different and I have not used struts on this machine ever. – Ankur Feb 12 '10 at 13:55.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
