My Folder Structure:

    public class KPItoGSON extends HttpServlet {

JQuery:

function onButtonClickOrCertainTime(){
     $.get('KPItoGSON', function(responseText) { // 
            alert(responseText);        
        });
}

Error:

/GISPages/KPI/KPItoGSON 404 (Not Found)

I am trying this example by BalusC.With this example I want to get new data from database into javascript variable and do some charting. I am not used to servlet :(. What is the problem with sending request to servlet using jQuery? Since I want new data each time button or poll using function onButtonClickOrCertainTime from database is using GSON and Servlet way is better or is it possible with jstl?

    Your servlet is mapped on /KPItoGSON/* and your webapp seems based on the information provided so far to be deployed on the context root. Your servlet is thus listening on http://localhost:8080/KPItoGSON.

    Your 404 error indicates that the servlet is been invoked from a HTML page in the /GISPages/KPI folder. You’ve specified a path-relative servlet URL in $.get() so it’s relative to the top folder in the current request URL (the URL as you see in browser’s address bar). It is trying to invoke the servlet by URL http://localhost:8080/GISPages/KPI/KPItoGSON which is thus invalid. It should have invoked the servlet by URL http://localhost:8080/KPItoGSON.

    Apart from moving the HTML page two folders up, you can fix it by going two folders up in the ajax request URL:

    $.get('../../KPItoGSON', function(responseText) {
    alert(responseText);        
});

    or by using a domain-relative URL (starting with a leading slash):

    $.get('/KPItoGSON', function(responseText) {
    alert(responseText);        
});

    By the way, you should remove the processRequest() method from your servlet. Your JSON output is now malformed with a piece of irrelevant HTML.
