I am trying to complete the tutorial at http://www.ajaxprojects.com/ajax/tutorialdetails.php?itemid=438
It seems that the servlet is trying to POST the data to http://localhost:8080/WeatherServlet/WeatherServlet ... (WeatherServlet is the name of the servlet - duh).
I have the following index.jsp page (which displays fine)
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#getWeatherReport").click(function(){
$cityName = document.getElementById("cityName").value;
$.post("WeatherServlet", {cityName:$cityName}, function(xml) {
$("#weatherReport").html(
$("report", xml).text()
);
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" type="get" method="post">
Enter City :
<input type="text" name="cityName" id="cityName" size="30" />
<input type="button" name="getWeatherReport" id="getWeatherReport"
value="Get Weather" />
</form>
<div id="weatherReport" class="outputTextArea">
</div>
</body>
</html>
The following WeatherReport.java page

I am creating a WAR archive and deploying using Eclipse's built in tools (not ant - doubt this matters anyway).
