I am unable to access my project. When I try navigating to: http://cs3.calstatela.edu:8080/cs520stu14/homework1/AdminMainController , I get a 404 Error. Attached is the error, as well as my folder hierarchy (both local and remote). 

What am I doing incorrectly?

Thanks for your time!

Hi, thanks for replying! I'm actually using FileZilla. 

I just double checked and all of my classes are uploaded, without any missing. 

I was initially thinking it was an issue with the hierarchy, which is why I attached a screenshot of my local and remote hierarchy forms. Looks correct to me, but I haven't ruled it out as a possibility. 

I downloaded WinSCP and "touched" the web.xml. Now I am getting a different error! (attached)

After some Googling, it seems like maybe it has to do with the version of my JRE and JDK? However, they match. Both my JRE and JDK Compliance are version 1.8. 

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Dr. Sun, 

Thanks for your reply! Attached are screenshots of both the JRE and JavaCompiler settings I have for Eclipse. The odd 500 error is gone, but I am still getting the same 404 error, even after touching the web.xml. 

Any other suggestions?

I appreciate your time.

I've checked my URLs and they seem okay, according to my understanding - I spent several hours looking through your MVC example codes, as well as watching your lectures, so I'm pretty confident they're correct.  

In case I'm wrong and it really is a URL error, here is one example of my URLs for my AdminMainController .java and .jsp:

1. My AdminMainController.java has this annotation: @WebServlet(urlPatterns="/AdminMainController", loadOnStartup=1)  

2. Here is how I forward to the view in the doGet(): request.getRequestDispatcher( "/homework1jsp/AdminMainView.jsp" ).forward(request, response );

3. When I run it, here is the URL and 404 Error:

4. I think something is wrong my forward request above on #2, but here is my folder hierarchy that matches the forward request:

5. In my AdminMainView.jsp, I access the controller using this URL syntax: <a href="/cs520stu14/PostNewJobsController">Post New Job Opening</a>

• Note: I've tried it without the /cs520stu14 in front, but when I run it, it tries to find PostNewJobsController in /cs520stu14/homework1jsp/PostNewJobsController
• I've also tried doing a page import at the top of my .jsp page with no luck: <%@ page import="cs520.homework1.PostNewJobsController" %>

So is there something wrong with my URLs after all? 

Thanks for your time!

You are completely correct, @BSEEMSCS. 

Thank you SO much - the issue has been resolved and now when the server looks for my jsp files in the WEB-INF folder, they are all located there.
