Why do i have javax.servlet.UnavailableException: CrawlServlet for my Filter?

Question

ok, here is what I am trying.

I created a class called CrawlServlet in server package.

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;


public class CrawlServlet implements Filter{



 @Override
 public void destroy() {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub

 }


 @Override
 public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
 FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
 String requestURI = httpRequest.getRequestURI();
      if ((requestURI != null) && (requestURI.contains("_escaped_fragment_"))) {
       System.out.println(requestURI);
     } else {
      try {
        // not an _escaped_fragment_ URL, so move up the chain of servlet (filters)
        chain.doFilter(request, response);
      } catch (ServletException e) {
        System.err.println("Servlet exception caught: " + e);
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }

 }


 @Override
 public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub

 }
}

in lib/web.xml, i have

  <filter>
     <filter-name>CrawlServlet</filter-name>
     <filter-class>CrawlServlet</filter-class>
  </filter>


  <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>CrawlServlet</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

After ran, Igot this error:

What's wrong?

Can you fix this problem?

Answer 1

The declaration of the class in

<filter-class>CrawlServlet</filter-class>

must be fully qualified. If CrawlServlet is in the server package, you need to specify that

<filter-class>server.CrawlServlet</filter-class>

or whatever package you meant.

Answer 2

Right click on WebSphere Application, then Server-> Clean

It will take some time to publish the server

Now launching the application would resolve the issue.
