Maven Web-app deployment file not found

Question

Hi there I an issue trying to deploy my Maven jsp college project to a bluemix server. Every thing work fines locally on my tomcat server. I use cloud foundry to push to the server which is okay. the index page works fine but I can not access the pages i get for example.

Error 404: java.io.FileNotFoundException: SRVE0190E: File not found: /handler

Which is a Java class using annotation instead of setting routes in web xml like so.

@WebServlet("/handler")

My pom.xml looks like so.

    <properties>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
    </properties>
</project>

And my project structure looks like so.

You can see my project here .

I made some changes after cloning your git project:

in index.jsp file

change <form action="/BarSurvey/handler" method="POST">

to <form action="/handler" method="POST">
in Handler.java file

change response.sendRedirect("/BarSurvey/results.jsp");

to `response.sendRedirect("/results.jsp");
in results.jsp file

change <a href="/BarSurvey">Return</a>

to <a href="/">Return</a>

Push your application using the java_buildpack

cf push appname -p target/BarSurvey.war -b java_buildpack

Check your web.xml - you are currently using:

<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">

When you should be using:

<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">

See this post : servlet 3.0 @WebServlet use..what will be in web.xml?
