I'm new to java web application development, can you tell me, what am I doing wrong: I have generated the web application using maven:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=webapp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
I have put HelloWorld.java in the src.main.resources folder, here is the code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException,IOException{
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
pw.println("<html>");
pw.println("<head><title>Hello World</title></title>");
pw.println("<body>");
pw.println("<h1>Hello World</h1>");
pw.println("</body></html>");
}
}
my web.xml from src.main.webapp.WEB-INF looks like:
!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>
<display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloWorld</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/HelloWorld</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
here is my pom.xml:
project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

Then i type
mvn package tomcat:deploy
and on the link localhost:8080/web/HelloWorld -

type Exception report

I have put HelloWorld.java in the src.main.resources folder
The java code should not be in src/main/resources, it should be in src/main/java.
Your HelloWorld.java has never been built and thus it cannot be found by tomcat. Your war file does not contain the HelloWorld.class.
