Calling Servlet from HTML

[Xmen]

Hello
I am a newbie to java. I am trying to call servlet from html. It's not quite getting it right. Each time I run the program, error message saying servlet not available is displayed (The request resource not available). I use netbeans IDE to run java programs. Can any one help to solve the problem.

You are using netbeans, netbeans automatically register your servlet with web.xml. Go to your project in netbeans project>web>web-inf>web.xml and check in the web.xml that servlet is registered or not. Check weather the deployement descriptor for servlet is mapped correctly or not. Without registering you servlet in web.xml you can't call servlets from HTML. If you have any more problems do post back.

Thanks for your advice.
I have checked my project in netbeans, the servlet is successfully registered in the web.xml file. The problem continues, still I can't call servlet from html. Do you have any more suggestions to solve the problem. I can't move further still solving this problem. Plz help

If you have an older version of netbeans, plz upgrade to the newer one. Please check the deployment descriptor file web.xml

<servlet>
<servlet-name>ABC</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>urServletClassTypehere</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ABC</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hurl</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Hopefully this may help you.
