Re: HelloWorldServlet Help? -- JAVA400-L

I seem to remember having something like this caused by not having an entry
in the hosts table for the local AS/400 (CFGTCP option 10) but it's
probably irrelevant (especially if your config did work at one point).
However this message basically means, I think, that the servlet engine
can't process the request. You're at least now getting an error message
indicating that WebSphere is trying to process it as a servlet, which is a
start. I should assume your PASS directives are OK now. You are aware that
you should not have a PASS directive for /servlet/* as the format
/servlet/xxx is dedicated to WebSphere as the standard format for its
automatic servlet invocation (i.e. servlets whose names are not defined
explicitly to WS).
How did you set up the HTTP config to connect to WebSphere? If you did it
the hard way (by typing), I suggest you have another go via the HTTP Admin
client (port 2001) which makes it much easier and gives you options for WS
2 & 3 so you just pick whichever you have installed. If WS 3 (which is the
one I know better), make sure you've pointed the HTTP config at the right
WS domain.
As has already been said, we need your WS version number really as there
are such major differences between versions.

Hmm, not as straightforward a solution as I have hoped.  It is like the
service directive in the http server was called, but I don't understand the
'no action' part.  Which level of websphere are you running?  Another
suggestion I'd suggest is to stop then start your http server (STRTCPSVR)
with an instance startup value of -vv (dash-vee-vee), and try again.  Then
look at the spool file generated under the main http server job for clues.
I'm suspecting there is something wrong with an http cfg directive
somewhere... perhaps if you posted just the websphere related directives,
someone could spot a possible typo if there is one.

Good suggestion.  Here is the URL:
http://amwusacs.amwaynet/servlet/HelloWorldServlet

I checked the config, and I had a PASS statement for /servlet/*.  It's sort
of strange that the server returned the .class file as if it was a .html
(or at least tried to)?  I removed the PASS statement, and here is what
gets returned now:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Error</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>Error 500</H1>Service handler performed no action;
 contact the server administrator.<P><HR><ADDRESS>IBM HTTP Server for
AS/400 1.0
</ADDRESS></BODY></HTML>

I'm not sure what this is trying to tell me?

Thanks for the suggestion though.  Maybe this is progress?  Nick

Nick , what you are looking at is HelloWorldServlet's java class file (!)
- HelloWorldServlet.class.  I suspect you may somehow be calling the File
Serving Servlet to view the class file.  This can happen if you are
specifying HelloWorldServlet.class as part of your browser URL.  I guess
the first question is, what URL are you specifying at your browser?

Help!  My AS/400 Web Server is so messed up, I can't even get the Hello
World Servlet to run properly.  It looks like something isn't getting
translated properly, but I've tried changing every CCSID I could except the
SYSVAL.  The SYSVAL is 65535 for CCSID  I won't even try to explain why
that's set the way it is, but I've got a Spainish friend living in Italy
who would be happy to bend your ear for a few hours....

Anyway.  Here is what I get back when I try to call up the HelloWorld:  I'm
sure that it will look at least a little different by the time the various
mail servers get through with it.. but basically, it isn't a web page.  It
looks like the messages coming directly from the Servlet are OK (there is
some HTML buried in there), and it looks like some of the messages come
through OK, but the returns and line feeds don't look like they made it.  I
did a hex edit on it, and it doesn't look like old, untranslated EBCDIC.
Nothing shows up in the error log or the event log.  I tried turning the
global trace on, but it keeps turning it off.  I've looked in every other
"log" I could find, and there wasn't anything in any of those.  Nor is
there anything in the job log for the server job.  I have not recompiled
the servlet.

anybody got any suggestions?
