as an addendum to jon's explanation, here is what the relevant lines in
my jserv.conf look like....
# Apache JServ entry point class
# Syntax: wrapper.class=[classname]
# Default: "org.apache.jserv.JServ"
wrapper.class=org.apache.jserv.JServ
# CLASSPATH environment value passed to the JVM
# Syntax: wrapper.classpath=[path]
# Default: NONE (Sun's JDK/JRE already have a default classpath)
# Notes: if more than one line is supplied these will be concatenated
using
# ":" or ";" (depending wether Unix or Win32) characters.
# JVM must be able to find JSDK and JServ classes and any
# utility classes used by your servlets.
# Apache JServ Servlet Classes
wrapper.classpath=/usr/local/ApacheJServ-1.0/src/java/ApacheJServ.jar
check that
1) both of these lines are in your jserv.conf
2) the jar file exists and the path to it is correct for your install
3) "jar tvf ApacheJServ.jar" produces this....
