Thank you


From your stacktrace
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: JSP file login.jsp must start with a '/
Tag <jsp-file> from oracle docs says,
The full path to a JSP file within the Web application, relative to the Web application root directory.
Rhand answer mentioned link, from that link
The must start with a forward slash (/) if the JSP is in the application's root directory.
Just change to
<jsp-file>/login.jsp</jsp-file>
One more thing, from web.xml working before update you have
<url-pattern>/HelloTest</url-pattern>
And in web.xml after update you have
<url-pattern>HelloTest</url-pattern> //missing /
↑
Correct it
<url-pattern>/HelloTest</url-pattern>


The error suggest to me that you should use this:
<jsp-file>login.jsp</jsp-file>
See https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/webxml#JSPs
Note: The must start with a forward slash (/) if the JSP is in the application's root directory.

Eclipse tomcat v7.0 failing to start with servlet declaration in web.xml

I am running a dynamic web project and the tomcat server in eclipse will not start with what I have in my web.xml. I've looked at a couple other posts and trying a different port didn't work and I'm only using one servlet so far so I don't think its related to this.
Here is my web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CustomerController</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>CustomerController</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Also, if it helps here is the console output:

When the servlet portion of the web.xml is commented out the server starts just fine and with it this is what I get. Can anyone point me in the right direction? If more detail is necessary let me know.

Issue in deploying REST Web Service in eclipse

I am writing a REST web service using JAX-RS in eclipse with tomcat as server .
I am referring the following tutorial to write the web service :
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/REST/article.html

The error message says:
Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
(unable to load class org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.init....)
This means that you are using a java 6 VM, and try to load a jar containing classes built for java 7.
You should try to upgrade to java7, or find/rebuild a version of jersey compatible with java6.
You can see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file the different major.minor values for java classes, with the corresponding jdk versions:
J2SE 8 = 52,
J2SE 7 = 51,
J2SE 6.0 = 50,
J2SE 5.0 = 49,
JDK 1.4 = 48,
JDK 1.3 = 47,
JDK 1.2 = 46,
JDK 1.1 = 45

You compile with a higher Java version than the one you use to run the application.
As suggested by #tonio, either upgrade your runtime JRE or compile for a lower Java version using:
javac -source 6 *.java

what is your dynamic web module in web.xml version use 2.5 It should work.

This is a new feature of the version 7.0.42 of the apache tomcat servlet conainer.
I just made a test with the following web.xml
<servlet>
<description></description>
<display-name>Servlet_01</display-name>
<servlet-name>Servlet_01</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>so.servlets.Servlet_01</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet_01</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Servlet_01</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<description></description>
<display-name>Servlet_02</display-name>
<servlet-name>Servlet_02</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>so.servlets.Servlet_02</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet_02</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Servlet_01</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and got exactly the same erros as you
The servlets named [Servlet_01] and [Servlet_02] are both mapped to the url-pattern [/Servlet_01] which is not permitted
The same Test with an earlier version - namely 7.0.32 - did not cause any error on the start of the context.
So apprarently you have two servlets HelloWorlds and Hello both mapped to the same url /sHelloWorld. The web.xml you have pasted in your comment is most likely not the right one.
The effect in the version 7.0.32 is that all request intended to go to Servlet_01 will actually go to Servlet_02. So I would say it's a good thing that now tomcat throws an error when it find such a erroneous mapping in a context.
The error happens even if you have the same servlet with two different names mapped to the same url pattern.
To solve your problem, first find the right web.xml and edit it so that each servlet has a distinct url mapping.

The cause could be mixing of annotation and declarative configuration. Give a look at java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The servlets named [X] and [Y] are both mapped to the url-pattern [/url] which is not permitted

Tomcat 7.0.42 not starting in eclipse

I am having a problem with my web.xml file.
I created a eclipse dynamic web project with Web module version: 3.0
By default there was no web.xml file se I created one by myself.
Now when I try to run the project I am getting this error:

I have had the same issue earlier with other project on my office machine which I was able to deal with by cleaning the server in eclipse.
Right now I have cleaned my servers and deleted servers but same result. If I remove the servlet module from web.xml project runs. Thats why I guessed problem is with servlet mapping but I cant see the fault.
My Web.xml:
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/pages/index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet>

<servlet-name>testController</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlet.testController</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>testController</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/testController</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Here in pom.xml you have missed writing (<scope>provided</scope>) in the dependency of servlet So in dependency of servlet you just have to add (<scope>provided</scope>) in pom.xml
e.g. <dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
"or"
<dependency>
<groupId>servletapi</groupId>
<artifactId>servletapi</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
This solution worked for me .
Thank you

I found my mistake from here.
I had created Servlet using "Create Servlet" wizard which adds a #WebServlet(/servletName) annotation and no entry in web.xml
I then created a entry in web.xml manually which duplicated the entry at the runtime.
So you have to do either of the two with Servlet 3.0.
Use Annotation like:
#WebServlet("/testController")
public class testController extends HttpServlet { }
OR
create a web.xml entry for your servlet.

Tomcat server wont start in eclipse due to servlet

I'm writing a program that's parsing an XML file to java objects using smooks. I've been asked to run this as a servlet. The application (before being converted to a servlet) worked just fine, but the tomcat server crashes every time I try to run it. Now I've run an example servlet with no problems.
Here's the console upon startup:

any thoughts?
I rewrote the program to no avail, however the error you were talking about before ("invalid byte tag in constant pool") is gone. this time, there is nothing in my WEB_INF/lib folder.

org.apache.tomcat.util.bcel.classfile.ClassFormatException: Invalid byte tag in constant pool: 60
This can have several possible causes which are all related to an incompatible Servlet API version being used during the build.
Most probably you've an offending servletcontainer-specific JAR file like servlet-api.jar or so from an arbitrary servletcontainer of a different make/version in your webapp's /WEB-INF/lib. You should remove it. It doesn't belong there. If you did this in order to "fix" compilation errors on the Servlet API, please read this answer how to do it properly for Eclipse+Tomcat: How do I import the javax.servlet API in my Eclipse project?
Another probable cause is that the Eclipse project is configured using a wrong "Dynamic Web Module" facet version. You need to ensure that this is set to 3.0 (as Tomcat 7.0 is a Servlet 3.0 container). Rightclick project, go to Properties > Project Facets > Dynamic Web Module and ensure that this is set to version 3.0.
Again another possible cause (but this would IMO less likely cause this particular exception) is that the web.xml is by itself declared as per the wrong Servlet API version. Make sure that the <web-app> root declaration complies Servlet 3.0 spec.
<web-app
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">
Update: if everything seems right, then the cause of the problem is probably in the 3rd party JAR itself (most likely the one of Smooks). You'd like to report it as a bug to its maintainers. In the meanwhile, if you don't have any JARs which require Servlet 3.0 annotation scanning, you can turn off the scanning of annotations in JAR files by adding metadata-complete="true" attribute to the <web-app> entery in web.xml.
<web-app
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0" metadata-complete="true">

Sometimes if you are running a Tomcat server in Eclipse, the local Tomcat working directory can get jacked up and you have to clear it explicitly. Note that this is NOT the same as doing a Clean build on the project:
Open Servers window->Right click on the server->Clean Tomcat work Directory...->OK

I was using Tomcat 7.0.27. When migrating my machine to another with Win7-64 bit, I started getting this error when starting Tomcat. As this post (org.apache.tomcat.util.bcel.classfile.ClassFormatException: Invalid byte tag in constant pool: 15 - Tomcat 7, JDK incompatibilty?), I just update the Tomcat to 7.0.61 which solved my problem.
