Question

I am trying to run a servlet on tomcat in eclipse. When i do run on server, the servlet runs and provides me with a link like follows:

Answer 1

In TOMCAT_HOME/conf folder, there’s a file named web.xml. In there, you have to add a security-constraint element.

    
        secured page
        /...
    
    
        CONFIDENTIAL
    

Make sure that matches your path that you want to be secured.
