Working on a web project using servlets and JSP in IntelliJ. One of the JSP files manages graphics and user forms with graphics.js handling graphics and form validation done by validator.js.
The issue I'm facing is that while Tomcat can locate graphics.js, it fails to find validator.js. Despite both files being in the same folder, I receive a 404 error message stating that validator.js cannot be found.
I would appreciate some insight into this peculiar situation as similar queries didn't provide a solution. Apologies if this has been addressed before.
Project Structure:
src
ControllerServlet.java
AreaCheckingServlet.java
web
css
style.css
js
graphics.js
validator.js
WEB-INF
Form.jsp
web.xml
Snippet from Form.jsp:
<script src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/js/graphics.js"></script>
<script src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/js/validator.js"></script>
Here's part of graphics.js for reference:
function draw(side, r, mar) {
...
}
And here's the placeholder content of validator.js:
function validate() {
console.log("Debugging message: Validation done successfully")
}
I've tried various approaches like changing file paths, URLs, and even direct access via URL to no avail. Any suggestions or assistance would be highly appreciated.
Update: Attempted rebuilding/cleaning artifacts and recreating the entire project to solve the issue without success.
