When i run the index.jsp on server, it is displayed on the browser. But after filling the form, and sending the data via submit button it show this 404 error:
I tried this Tutorial many times. I tried also the bugfixes in the comment section and similar posts on stackoverflow, but nothing worked.
Thanks for your answer,
I solved the problem with following steps :
First i edited the in WEB-INF/web.xml with an / :
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
And set the web-app version from the tomcat-configuration from 3.1 to 2.5 in the local tomcat configuration -> web.xml
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
Finally right-clicked on the Project and run-as -> run on server ...
That solution worked!!
