Right, Pierre-Yves, but his classes are in the wrong place. They
should be in ../examples/WEB-INF/classes, not in ../servlets -
that's an HTML directory. By your suggestion:
static {
String path=
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
String servletPath = path + "/WEB-INF/classes/";
}
Cheers!
