I was trying to run a servlet using ServletContextListener ,I've put the codes from the book "Head-First" writter "Kathy sierra", but this is not working.Its shows 404 error.I have put the class files in the directory C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\Listener_exe\web-inf\classes\com\example. and web.xml file in web-inf directory. So please show where I have done wrong. Here are the servlet, java files, and xml file.`
package com.example;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ListenerTester extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException
{
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html><body>test context attributes set by listener<br>");
Dog dog = (Dog) getServletContext().getAttribute("dog");
out.println("Dog's breed is: "+dog.getBreed()+</body></html>);
}
}
package com.example;
public class Dog
{
private String breed;
public Dog(String breed)
{
this.breed=breed;
}
public String getBreed()
{
return breed;
}
}
package com.example;
import javax.servlet.*;
public class MyServletContextListener implements ServletContextListener
{
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event)
{
ServletContext sc = event.getServletContext();
String dogBreed = sc.getInitParameter("breed");
Dog d = new Dog(dogBreed);
sc.setAttribute("dog",d);
}
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event)
{}
}
