How to create a Sample Servlet using Eclipse?<\/h2>\r\n

Let us create a sample servlet and deploy it on the Tomcat server. First of all, create a Web Project in Eclipse. For instructions for creating a web project in eclipse, please go through the following question.<\/p>\r\n

( http:\/\/www.testingdocs.com\/questions\/how-to-deploy-a-war-file-in-tomcat-using-eclipse\/<\/a> )<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Create Sample Servlet<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

Right-click the source folder and choose New >> Servlet<\/strong> as shown in below picture.<\/p>\r\n

\"Create<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Give the package name and the Servlet class name of your choice.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

\"Create<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

In the next wizard screen, enter servlet deployment descriptor-specific information.<\/p>\r\n

Create Servlet<\/h3>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

\"Servlet<\/p>\r\n

In the next screen, choose the auto-generated method stubs. For simple servlets like ours doGet<\/strong> and doPost<\/strong> would suffice. Click on the Finish button to complete the process.<\/p>\r\n

Give some implementation in the method stubs. Let us just say hello world and tell visitor to visit the website for QA articles as shown :<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
    \/\/ TODO Auto-generated method stub
   response.getWriter().append(\"Served at: \").append(request.getContextPath()); {
       response.setContentType(\"text\/html\");
       PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
       out.println(\"<html>\");
       out.println(\"<head>\");
       out.println(\"<title>Hello World!<\/title>\");
       out.println(\"<\/head>\");
       out.println(\"<body>\");
       out.println(\"<h1>Hello World!<\/h1>\");
       out.println(\"Visit www.TestingDocs.com for interesting QA stuff..!!\");
       out.println(\"<\/body>\");
       out.println(\"<\/html>\");
   }
}<\/pre>\r\n
 <\/p>\r\n
Save the changes and deploy the application in the Tomcat server as shown in the above link.<\/p>\r\n
Note that trying to visit the URL before deploying the servlet, would display 404 not found error.<\/p>\r\n
 <\/p>\r\n
\"goGet<\/p>\r\n
Run the Servlet<\/h2>\r\n
Visit the servlet URL or run the servlet on the server :<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n
  • http:\/\/localhost:8080\/MyWebProject\/HelloWorldExample<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
     <\/p>\r\n
    \"Servlet<\/p>\r\n
     <\/p>\r\n
    You are done with creating, deploying, and running a sample Servlet in the Tomcat server using Eclipse.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
