MSG 404: Document not found
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
This error appears at the browser when the request cannot be completed. This error can be received when running an application through the Web container or through the HTTP Transport Handler.
 
 
Solution
If the request comes in through the Web container, the context root in the URL did not match a knowncontext root in the set of virtual host + context root pairs in the webcontainer.conffile. Check the following:
  • The URI is incorrect.

  • The application never bound to a virtual host.

  • The Web container is not fully initialized, and the binding has not occurred yet.

If the request is made directly to theHTTP Transport Handlerand a "MSG 404: Document Not Found" is returned, there is a mismatch on the context root. Check the following:
  • Inspect the URI structure and determine the exact value of the context root portion.

  • Check the SYSPRINT of the J2EE application server's server region and ensure that the context root has bound to the virtual host.

  • If the context root appears in the SYSPRINT of the server, the context root is known to the Web Container and the HTTP Transport Handler. If this is the situation, match the URL to the virtual host + contextroot value known to the HTTP Transport Handler.
