Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie to the SAP Netweaver application server. I tried to search on this topic in the forums but could not find anything. If it has been already answered, please direct me to the link.

I am trying to get the sample EJB3.0 Application(ConverterWEB) to work. The application seem to be deployed properly.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Venkatesh,

Looks like you are trying to open directory and directories listing is not allowed (by default). In your browser you need to specify a complete path to your application. For example, http://<java-host>:<port>/Calculator/calculator.jsp

If, however, you still want to look at directory structure, you can allow directory listing in Visual administrator / NWA by selecting appropriate checkbox for HTTP Provider Service.

Thanks Mike and Vladimir for your response.

I enabled the Java HTTP Provider configuration directory listing as mike suggested and restarted the server and was able to view the application.

I got to the configuration through the following navigation, Login to NWA portal, Configuration Management, Java HTTP Provider Configuration. I was just wondering whether there is a configuration file that can be edited to do the same(instead of the clicks).

Hi Venkatesh,

What URL did you request in the browser? It should be http://<host>:<http_port>/ConverterWEB/ as described in the tutorial "Developing Your First Java EE 5 Application". Please check too.

Hope that helps!
