Subject: running servlet in package
I am reading Core Servlets and JSP and trying to run a
servlet in a package. I have put "package test; " in the source code and
compiled it in the dos using javac -d c:\jakarta\webapps\root\web-inf\classes
HelloWorld.java with no problem. After running that command, I have this
class file in the c:\jakarta\webapps\root\web-inf\classes\test. However,
when I type "localhost/servlet/test.HelloWorld" in the explorer, I get the
following error.
Internal Servlet Error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Please tell me what I am doing wrong. The Apache
server and the tomcat are running just fine, because I can run this
servlet(without the package statement) by typing localhost/servlet/HelloWorld
with no problem.
