Servlet and callserver examples

Hi,
I went thru the book and the forum but didn't find what I'm looking for!

I have a callserver that's working find with perl, but now I want to do it with java, as a proof of concept...

Is there any doc/ref where it would show me a simple example(No parameter required) of a callserver with a servlet.

I'm also guessing that I only need to insert my servlet in the same directory that my perl script was(./httpd/iw-bin) ? No setup of environment is required?

Do I need to copy the web.xml for mapping?

Just a basic example to get me started would be appreciated.

Regards,

Michel

There is nothing "Servlet specific" as far as callSever is concerned. As long as your first parameter is a valid URL you'll
get your http request there. What you do with it is up to you.

I'm also guessing that I only need to insert my servlet in the same directory that my perl script was(./httpd/iw-bin)?

That's incorrect. You are actually building (planning to?) your own Web Application running on the Tomcat servlet container. That's totally
different than using TS-provided configurations for Perl CGIs. Consult Interwoven® User Interface Customization Guide, Chapter "Adding Custom Java Code"
and Interwoven® ContentServices™ for TeamSite Cookbook, Chapter "Getting Started with the Sample Application".

Note that although nothing stops you from calling Servlets entirely outside of TS Framework you will loose "callback"
ability in that case due to Browsers' cross-domain security model.

Thx for the reply,

I've been reading the the "Interwoven User Interface Customization Guide" and the Interwoven ContentServices for Teamsite Cookbook.

1.I don't want to rebuild the custom interface to access my servlet.

Here what I have:
1.Tomcat is install locally and my servlet that is saying hello world is working properly.
I've even tested the deployment on Jboss and everything works.

Here what I want to do:
1.Copy my servlet and all of the deployment files that goes with it to interwoven and run it?

tried: http://myServer:8080/canadaPost/helloWorld

2.I've copy the servlet into the following directory:
iw-home/servletd/webapps/
tried: http://myServer:8080/canadaPost/helloWorld
IN brief is the error I get:
=====================================
type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Error allocating a servlet instance

===============================================

also tried on the following directory but got a 404 error.
iw-home/httpd/webapps

Question :
I'm I copying it to the proper directory, is there an helloWorld example that I can use?
Is this use at all with interwoven?

Here what I have working so far...

I have a tomcat server running on my machine(different then interwoven server) and I'm using callserver with FormAPI to return a simple string with a servlet.

Here what's working:
1.DCT calling the servlet is getting execute, you see from the code of the servlet that I'm writing to a file to test.
2.It doesn't go back to the calling Javascript what's missing in my servlet?

Your guidance would be appreciated.
Note: I've included the (datacapture,Javascript,servlet) in the attachment.

It seems that you may have an issue with Cross-domain Security.

Do you get JS Error indication on DCT Form Page? Is it something like "Access Denied"?
