NWDS generated JSP not found

[Former Member]

I am using NWDS 7.0.09 with the included NetWeaver Application Server

I have created a project with a folder structure of webcontent/html

In here I have put html files and jsp files.

I also created a jsp using the NWDS wizard for a simple test.

When I try to run this, I get an error:

The requested resource test.jsp is not available ....not found in application root of alias of J2EE application. However if I change the URL to the html page, it finds those in the same directory.

I have also checked the application alias and it seems setup correctly.

Any suggestions?

Hi Allen,

Welcome to the SDN forums!

JSP files should be placed in the <i>webContent</i> folder of the Web Porject - see thread.

Hope it helps!

Vladimir - thanks

I will try removing the / and see how it goes.

Can I put jsp's in a subfolder in webcontent (ie - webContent/html) or does it need to be in the root?

thanks again

Hi Allen,

Indeed, JSP files can be in any subfolder of webContent (except WEB-INF and META-INF). So, your scenario should also work out.

Probably the problem in this case is that the JSP has not been compiled successfully. Please request it and check the response. If my assumption is correct, it should contain some exception with an ID. Then go to the server trace file (/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<N>/log/defaultTrace.trc) and search for that ID. It will tell you the actual reason for the error.

HTH!

PS: Please forget my note about removing the leading slash in the web.xml <jsp-file> elements. It must be exactly how you did it (<b>with</b> the slash).

Hi Allen

Are the jsp files referred in the web-xml like this

<servlet>

<servlet-name>New.jsp</servlet-name>

<jsp-file>/New.jsp</jsp-file>

</servlet>

Shilpa - thanks

its "kind of" like that

Here is the xml snippit:

<web-app>

<display-name>WEB APP</display-name>

<description>WEB APP description</description>

<servlet>

<servlet-name>energizedState.jsp</servlet-name>

<jsp-file>/html/energizedState.jsp</jsp-file>

</servlet>

</web-app>

That is what I expect I think - because in my webcontent folder I have a subfolder html that contains the html pages and the jsp pages. Does that make sense?

Can I put jsp's in a subfolder under the webcontent or must it stay in the root?

Any ideas? Thanks again
