How do I write a simple Servlet for Jetty using Eclipse?

java eclipse servlets jetty war

Solution 1

First, your web.xml is wrong.

The servlet-class element contains the fully qualified class name of the servlet.

from web.xml schema you used http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd at line 923. Hence, the content of servlet-class element at line 9 should be MyServlet, not MyServlet.class.

Second, use only one way to register a servlet, filter or listener to make it clear. If you prefer to use annotation to register them to a servlet container. You had better delete servlet and servlet-mapping element in web.xml. Otherwise, You had better delete annotations in java source. And if you want to use web.xml, you should update the schema version from 2.4 to 3.0

Finally, your second problem came from the Jetty WTP Eclipse plugin can be solved by trying this: jetty run error for websockets project

Solution 2

The way you are accessing the servet may be wrong. If we observe the war you are deploying is MySite.war and the url you are using is localhost:8080\MyServlet\Servlet

Try with localhost:8080\MySite\Servlet

    I downloaded Eclipse for Java EE and Jetty 8.1 and would like to implement a very simple Servlet.

    Jetty works fine when I start it using java -jar start.jar.

    To develop the Servlet I did this:

    1. In Eclipse, I choosed "New Dynamic Web Project".

    2. I added jetty\lib\servlet-api-3.0.jar to the "Build Path" in Eclipse.

    3. In that project, "New Servlet", and a Servlet was generated and I added some code:

      /**
 * Servlet implementation class MyServlet
 */
@WebServlet("/MyServlet")
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    /**
     * @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, 
                HttpServletResponse response)
     */
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, 
                HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html><body><h1>My Servlet</h1></body></html>");
    }

    /**
     * @see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, 
                HttpServletResponse response)
     */
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, 
                HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

}

    4. I created a file web.xml in WebContent\WEB-INF\web.xml with this content:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<web-app 
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"
version="2.4">
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>My Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>MyServlet.class</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>My Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/Servlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

    5. I copied the compiled .class-files in build\classes to WebContent\WEB-INF\classes

    6. Now I choose to Export the project as a .war-file to jetty\webapps\MySite.war.

    7. I start Jetty with java -jar start.jar and visit localhost:8080/MySite/Servlet but now I get this message:

      Servlet Not Initialized

javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Servlet Not Initialized

    and if I visit localhost:8080/MySite/ I see two folders WEB-INF\ and META-INF\ both with size 0 bytes.

    So it doesn't look like my .war-export in Eclipse worked.

    How do I export my simple Servlet for Jetty using Eclipse?

    I have now installed the Jetty WTP plugin for Eclipse, but I can't run this servlet using it:

    Also you can add a plugin in eclipse to connect to you Jetty server via eclipse itself. Try adding new server. and then you can run your application directly within eclipse no need to export to war and then publish to Jetty seperately

    Sorry, it was a typo by me, I was visiting localhost:8080\MySite\Servlet. The URI ``localhost:8080\MyServlet\Servlet` returns 404 Not Found. I will have a look for the plugin, but it should work to export a war-file too.

    I changed the servlet-class element from MyServlet.class to my.package.MyServlet and commented out the @WebServlet-annotation and now it works. Thanks.
