JSP Logout HTTP Status 404 - Not Found












0















I have a JSP file called "logout.jsp" that I am trying to use to logout of my web application:



<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Logout</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Logout successful!</h1>
<%
session.invalidate();
response.sendRedirect("index.jsp");
%>
</body>
</html>


I am using a link on each of my other pages which looks like:



<a href="/WEB-INF/logout.jsp">Log out</a>


However, whenever I click on the link I get an error saying:



Http Status 404 - Not Found
Type - Status Report
message - Not Found
description - The requested resource is not available


Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've looked around and cannot seem to solve the issue



Cheers,

  • Do you have something like /logout or logout.jsp in your paths?

  • Sorry, could you please elaborate? I'm very new to MVC programming in Java. What paths do you mean?

  • When you click on that link, it should be defined at the server side so that it knows what page to load.

  • @Samuel So at the moment, the jsp file is just in a folder called "WEB-INF" in my netbeans project. I have edited my post above to show the file path however, it still gives the same error. Is there something i'm doing wrong?

  • I see you've updated the post, do you have any other links working? like index.jsp.
