Google Blobstore App Engine tutorial

Question

Update see below

I'm trying to build this blobstore app engine sample from this google tutorial:

https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/blobstore/#Uploading_a_Blob

This is what I have. I can select a file to upload.

http://instantedituploader.appspot.com/

When I hit submit I get this error:

    Error: Not Found

    The requested URL /%3C%=%20blobstoreService.createUploadUrl(?foo=&myFile=sprayerpic.jpg was not found on this server.

I'm fairly certain I'm missing:

<%@ page import="com.google.appengine.api.blobstore.BlobstoreServiceFactory" %>
<%@ page import="com.google.appengine.api.blobstore.BlobstoreService" %>

<%
BlobstoreService blobstoreService = BlobstoreServiceFactory.getBlobstoreService();
%>

I took it out because I couldn't figure out how to include that in the index.html. The tutorial uses a jsp file to include the above and the html for the upload form/submit. How do I do this?

UPDATE----------------------

Ok I switched the index.jsp to my welcome file. Now I get a 500 Server Error this is what shows up in the app engine console and I also get a /favicon.ico error too.

The files in the example are Java Server Pages. See the docs on how to use JSPs with GAE.

You should rename index.html to index.jsp and set it as a welcome file in your web.xml (welcome page is served when user invokes the root /):

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>path/to/index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
