Thread: Simple Webapp

Hi, I'm trying to create a web application with a servlet but I couldn't get it to load to index.jsp. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm pretty sure I already have the correct directory structure, with both index.jsp and web.xml directly under webapp/WEB-INF. I can access the servlet just fine by going to http://localhost:8080/MyApp/TestServlet, but my index.jsp doesn't load when I go to http://localhost:8080/MyApp. If it matters any, I'm using Eclipse Helios and Tomcat 6.0 as a plugin

Here is my web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
		http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
	version="2.5"> 
 
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>com.myapp.servlet.TestServlet</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
 
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/TestServlet</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>
 
	<welcome-file-list>
		<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
	</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

Thanks in advance!

What is the server response when you try to load the URL? 404? Did you try the full path (http://localhost:8080/MyApp/index.jsp) just to be sure?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I'm getting a 404 response, and yes, I've just tried your URL and the same thing happens. I'm just wondering why accessing the servlet works but not the JSP.

The error was caused by spaces in my workspace location. I moved my workspace from C:\Documents and Settings\...\workspace to C:\workspace and the index.jsp location is now working fine. But now, accessing the servlet using the above URL is causing the 404 error. I'm so confused. :-(
