How to set a custom 404 page in JBoss 5?

In general handling custom error pages is more to do with the servlet spec rather than the actual application container. Consequently, the most common place to put this is in your web.xml, like this:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/my-404.jsp</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
<error-code>500</error-code>
<location>/my-500.jsp</location>
</error-page>
If the above still does not work, verify that you have the correct XSD in your web.xml, it's easy to use an old one that causes JBoss to fall back to an older version of the servlet API which doesn't recognise the above tags. In general, this one works for me with servlet 2.5:
<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">
Out of interest, the JBoss 5.0.x and 5.1.0, the global web.xml file is located at server/<your server>/deployers/jbossweb.deployer/web.xml, and ROOT.war is at server/<your server>/deploy/ROOT.war. This will allow you to make custom error pages for all applications within the server.

Struts 2 Hello World

I have a problem at this example
I work with eclipse for Java EE and Apache Tomcat 8.
My project structure:
The web.xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<display-name>Hello World Struts 2</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
The other files code is the same as the struts website.
When I run the index.jsp file I get the following error:
**HTTP Status 404 - /helloworld/index.jsp
type Status report
message /helloworld/index.jsp
description The requested resource is not available.**
Can someone spot the reason why can't I run it?
First of all the project is created by using Maven configuration, and to access the Struts action you should use url
Step 6 - Build the WAR File and Run The Application
Execute mvn clean package to create the war file.
Copy the war file to your Servlet container. After your Servlet
container successfully deploys the war file go to this URL
http://localhost:8080/helloworld/index.action where you should see
the following:
(source: apache.org)
Web application context is where the application was deployed. In the docs url it's /helloworld, on the image it's /Hello_World_Struts2_Ant. Use it as a part of the url. It doesn't matter which app context did you use during deployment but url depends on it. If you want to change the web app context you should read Java - How to change context root of a dynamic web project in Eclipse. After the context you use action name with .action extension to execute action.
Don't use URLs like localhost:8080/helloworld/index.jsp because you might not get the resource because it's already handled by the web server.

eclipse webapp welcome file display error

I m new to eclipse and facing difficulties at the beginning of a new webapp.
index.jsp doesnt display.
web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
<display-name>PizzaOrderApp</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
I already tryed with http://localhost:8080/PizzaOrderApp/index.jsp and http://localhost:8080/PizzaOrderApp/jsp/index.jsp
after remove-readd tomcat server:
Have you tried putting the .jsp file directly in the WebContent folder rather than creating a folder for the JSP pages?
You did not define the Spring dispatcher servlet in web.xml. You can either copy index.jsp outside of WEB-INF directory (into webcontent), or you should have a deep look into the Spring MVC documentation.
I also faced this problem but what i was doing wrong is, I created
Dynamic project in eclipse with Dynamic Web Module version 3.0. It
won't give you Web.xml file.I added Web.xml file from other project
but still Welcome File is not getting.
Then i deleted the project and i created the project with Dynamic Web
Module Version 2.4 and it given me Web.xml file. I again Configure the
Welcome File in the Web.xml file, After that its working fine.Server
which i am using is Tomcat 7 and java 1.7,Eclipse Luna.

Removing #WebServlet causes java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

I'm using Tomcat 7 in eclipse Juno with servlet 3.0 specs (jdk 1.7).
When I create a new servlet using Eclipse IDE it automaticaly create a new mapping using #WebServlet("/foo") statement and everything works fine (the servlet works).
Removing the #WebServlet("/foo") mapping and using the manual one in web.xml:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
<servlet-path>foo.Servlet</servlet-path>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/foo</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
causes Tomcat crash:
SEVERE: Allocate exception for servlet java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
I'm sure that foo.Servlet.Servlet1 is the correct path and name.
I've to manually compile the servlet before starts Tomcat? I run the project directly from eclipse ide, setting up a Tomcat 7 Runtime Environment.
Your Servlet declaration in web.xml is not correct, You need to change
<servlet-path>foo.Servlet</servlet-path>
with
<servlet-class>foo.Servlet</servlet-class>
Also you should add the schema declaration in your web.xml file, it would have saved you all this trouble by showing the error in your xml editor because there is nothing such as <servlet-path> in it.

Web-app version is overridden when launching Tomcat 7 from Eclipse

I'm developping a web application that is using web-fragment.xml files.
AFAIK, the web-framgent.xml files of the JAR in WEB-INF/lib should be merged and resolved to an effective web.xml.
So, I activate the logEffectiveWebXml option of my Tomcat 7 server to see the resulting file.
Hereby the beginning of the effective web.xml file:
Case 1: When the application is deploy on a standalone Tomcat 7:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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">
Case 2: When the application is deploy on a Tomcat 7 in Eclipse IDE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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="2.5"
metadata-complete="true">
You notice that the version attribute is replaced with "2.5".
Besides, the effective web.xml is correct when deploying the app on the standalone Tomcat (the content of web-fragments.xml files are merged) whereas these contents are absent when launching Tomcat from Eclipse.
I think this is due to the version override.
Do you know why the version attribute is overriden when launching in Eclipse?
I inspect Eclipse configuration, projects configuration (they all use dynamic web module 3.0) and workspace directory ".metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core" but I don't manage to find something wrong...
NOTE: I also notice that the version is overridden even if I don't deploy my application (= fresh Tomcat install).
Thanks for your help.

Servlet not found once hosted on a web server

The main problem is that the servlet is basically not found on the web server once I upload it to some webhosting server I got, while it finds it all fine and dandy in hosted mode with the embedded jetty
I can't really check the full tomcat setup on the host, but it's actually there as some .jsp test files run fine there, unless there's something missing that I'm not sure of
When going directly to the path of the servlet, when in hosted mode it does the
HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL,
while just 404 on the webserver

public interface DBConnectionService extends RemoteService {
public ArrayList<SalesEntry> dayOfWeekQuery(String hier);
public ArrayList<SalesEntry> weekQuery(String hier);
}
As far as I can see, everything seems to be normal when looking at similar problems with servlets not being found, the only thing I cant check 100% for sure is any tomcat settings that I don't know about that need to be set, since it's some shared tomcat server on the webhost that I cant change anything with myself (although can probably ask the hosting if there's actually something that needs to change)
What is inside your tomcat/lib folder on the host? It is possible that GWT assumes some libraries are available on the hosted mode, but they are missing from your deployed version's host libraries. Just make sure all needed .jar files are in the war file in classes or lib.
