Difficulty getting servlets working in CF7

[Guest]

Hello all,

Has anybody had a successful experience deploying servlets on Coldfusion 7 ? I've compiled my servlet, tested it worked successfuly with Tomcat, so the servlet works. However I can't get it running on CFMX 7, even if I recompile with jrun.jar in the classpath.

I've been trying to get it working using the built-in HTTP server so that any third-party server issues are eliminated.

I can't see what I'm doing wrong, I've got the classes in wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes and have edited wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml and simply pasted in the "known-good" <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> entries from the Tomcat implementation, as below :

<servlet>
<servlet-name>myServletName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>myClass.myServletName</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myServletName</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlets/myServletName</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Other things I have tried include :
(1) Trying to use the default-web.xml parser (i.e. accessing /servlet/myServletName, either with or without the web.xml config above)
(2) Following the syntax in web.xml, I tried adding "id="myname01"" to both the <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> tags.

Any ideas ??

Have you restarted coldfusion ?

Here's a thread that indicates how I got this to work.

Hi Ken,

Indeed I have tried restarting Coldfusion, infact I did so every single time I tried a different approach to solving the problem in hand.

Thank you for the link, I will have a look....

Unfortunatley the advice on the link doesn't appear to work.

I've now placed the java source in wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes, however when the server is rebooted, a directory with the package name is created (i.e. wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes\myPackageName) but no compiled classes are created.

servlets works for me, i prefer to compile them by myself but if you put
in jrun-web.xml <compile>true</compile> compilation by jrun works too.
<reload>true</reload> also works (reloading servlets and dependent
classes) but not in interaction with cf7 - it has its own classloader.
