This is the web.xml file :

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>ClientServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>ma.fstt.web.ClientServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
 
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>ClientServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/client</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

And this is a part of ClientServlet.java file :

package ma.fstt.web;

public class ClientServlet extends HttpServlet {
    ...
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        String action = request.getServletPath();
        try {
            switch (action) {
                case "/new":
                    showNewForm(request, response);
                    break;
                                ...
                default:
                    listClients(request, response);
                    break;
            }
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            throw new ServletException(ex);
        }
    }
        ...
}

I want to call the "showNewForm()" method with the url : "http://localhost:8081/Atelier1/listarticleclient/new"

When i did i got this error :

Hi,

There seem to be least three issues

Classes are searched in WEB-INF/classes rather than in WEB-INF

Use the HttpServlet instead of the generic Servlet

Overwrite the doXXX methods of the HttpServlet and not the generic service method. The service method dispatches to the corresponding doXXX method.

It seems you are trying to access the "showNewForm()" method through the URL "http://localhost:8081/Atelier1/listarticleclient/new", but the servlet mapping is set to "/client" in the web.xml file.

To call the method correctly, change the URL to "http://localhost:8081/Atelier1/client/new".

This should resolve the error.
