Issue
I'm having a problem with my first Web Application. I use IntelliJ as IDE and Tomcat as Webserver. Every servlet I've tried to acces, throws an 404 Error. Even if I copy some youtube tutorials, which seems to work like a charm.
The button in the form sends me to: http://localhost:8080/IUBHQuiz/login
Can you tell me whats wrong? I am going nuts.
login.java
package com.example.IUBHQuiz;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
@WebServlet("/login")
public class login extends HttpServlet {
@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String email = request.getParameter("fmail");
String pass = request.getParameter("fpw");
if(email.equals("j") && pass.equals("j"))
{
RequestDispatcher rs = request.getRequestDispatcher("/main.jsp");
rs.forward(request, response);
}
else
{
out.println("Username or Password incorrect");
RequestDispatcher rs = request.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
rs.include(request, response);
}
out.close();
}
index.jsp

Solution
I had the same issue while reproducing the problem reported at IntelliJ IDEA forums.
It didn't work with Tomcat 10 for the reasons described in the answer by Piotr P. Karwasz, but it works just fine with Tomcat 9.0.44 and earlier versions.
