page not found on jsp submission

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15999790

Question

here is my test.jsp placed at webcontent/jsp/

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="employee.do" method="get">
<input type="text" name="name1">
<input type="submit" name="add employee" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now here is servlet mapping in web.xml

 <servlet>
    <servlet-name>EmployeeServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.controller.EmployeeServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>EmployeeServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/employee.do</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet>

Now when I submit this form to my employee.do then server says page not found.I dont know why it is happening?I am using tomcat server
Edit: When I place this jsp page outside the jsp folder , mean direct in the webcontent folder then it works fine and submit the form.Why it is not submitting the form under jsp folder

Was it helpful?

Solution

Keep the jsp file directly under web-content or change the url mapping to /jsp/employee.do .
