Re: PA2 Question

You need to deploy the input classes, that is, put them in
the WEB-INF/classes area.

Hi all,
I continue to wrestle with the same trouble Max had, but even with the
hint from Prof. O'Neil (listed below with Max's question), I cannot make
my servlet find the files in the deployed file structure.
Did anybody see a good reference on how tomcat searches for files?
Thanks,
Holly

Be sure to look over the source code provided in the examples, servlet1 and servlet2.

Holly--
From your deployment, I see your problem. You have
WEB-INF/input/classes/examples/sort
^^^^^^ need to remove "input" level
so that examples.sort is on the classpath
Everything under WEB-INF/classes is on the classpath for the servlet

Hi,
Thanks for the help. Tests 1a, 1b work fine. On Test2, when I use *.xsd
extension url pattern to pull in URI /pa2/javaSource.xsd, the
context.getResourceAsStream(fileName) fails, and outputs the error.xml
file instead. My file is in WebContent/WEB-INF/schema and gets deployed.
I read the servlet spec. Learned a lot, but can't get a view into
WEB-INF from my context yet.
Thanks,
Holly

Watch out about using "pa2" in the spec. Note how "error.html" for
in servlet2 resolves to servlet2/error.html, because what's
important to a servlet is what is in its own area, not how
it's deployed as a directory in webapps. This way it is
independent of that deployment app name.
