There is my servlet in "java" directory:
@WebServlet("HelloWebServlet")
public class HelloWebServlet extends HttpServlet {
private HttpServletRequest request;
private String title = "Servlet test app";
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) {
doGet(req, resp);
} // end: doPost()
private void sendHead(HttpServletResponse resp) {
try {
PrintWriter writer = resp.getWriter();
resp.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
resp.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
writer.println("<HTML>");
writer.println("<HEAD>");
writer.println("<meta charset=\"UTF-8\">");
writer.println("<TITLE>" + title + "</TITLE>");
writer.println("</HEAD>");
writer.println("<BODY>");
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Error(e);
}
} // END: sendHead()
private void sendFlooter(HttpServletResponse resp) {
try {
PrintWriter writer = resp.getWriter();
writer.println("</BODY>");
writer.println("</HTML>");
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Error(e);
}
} // END: sendHead()
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) {
this.request = req;
try {
sendHead(resp);
PrintWriter writer = resp.getWriter();
writer.println("<CENTER>");
writer.println("<FORM>");
writer.println("<H1>Input your request</H1>");
writer.println("<INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" value=\"" + "Send" + "\" />");
writer.println("</FORM>");
writer.println("</CENTER>");
sendFlooter(resp);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Error(e);
}
} // END: doGet()
} //END: class HelloWebServlet
There is web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_4_0.xsd"
version="4.0">
<display-name>Servlet test app</display-name>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWebServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
And there the index.html file:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Request from servlet</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="./hello" method="POST">
<center>
<h1>Send request</h1>
<form>
<input NAME="Request" TYPE="submit" VALUE="Request from servlet"/>
</form>
</center>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>
When my servlet class in "java" directory it works perfectly. But if I try to move it to the some package like add "package info.bhrigu.spring.test.servlets" at the first line in HelloWebApp:
package info.bhrigu.spring.test.servlets; // <------- now in the package!
@WebServlet("HelloWebServlet")
public class HelloWebServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static ArrayList<String> text;
...
And chagne web.xml to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_4_0.xsd" version="4.0">
<description>Servlet test app</description>
<display-name>Servlet test app</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWebServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>info.bhrigu.spring.test.servlets.HelloWebServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWebServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Then I recive message from tomcat that the class is missing:
HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error
Type Exception Report
Message Error instantiating servlet class [info.bhrigu.spring.test.servlets.HelloWebServlet]

How to write a right configuration for the servlet placed in some package?
