I keep getting a 404 when I'm trying to link a .java page from a .html (in this particular instance). It has happened often before and I'm wondering if I learned linking the wrong way!

Here is the 404 error that says my path is the following:

cs520 > homework1jsp > cs520 > homework1 > AdminMainController

Here are the types of links I've tried on my .jsp page:
 
"AdminMainController"
"${pageContext.request.contextPath}/homework1/AdminMainController"
"cs520/homework1/AdminMainController"
 
I don't understand why the path is automatically inserting a "homework1jsp" in there when that's the wrong directory. Thanks for you time!

Show the actual 404 error (e.g. a screenshot) and the actual <a href> tag in your JSP.

Thanks for the quick response! Here are 2 examples and their error messages attached:

<a href="AdminMainController">For Administrators</a>

<a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/homework1/AdminMainController">For Administrators</a>

It may be because your HTML syntax for the breadcrumb is wrong. Remember > is a special character in HTML (it's part of a bracket for a tag), so if you want to display >, you should use &gt; instead.
