Its usually not a good idea to get political on lists like this, but I just
wonder
about your email address, it <i>could</i> be considered quite offensive to
some people.
I'm sure it isn't meant to be.
Regarding your error, have you compiled and successfully run the simple
hello world servlet, thats
a good starting point. If that works your system is installed ok and the
problem is with your
own code. If so you may want to post the relevant parts.
cheers

Subject: Error 500: Internal servlet error
Hello everybody !
I'm an absolute beginner in using tomcat, and I have a little (?) problem.
The situation is:
I'm using RedHat linux + jdk1.3 + tomcat3.2.1. I compiled a
simple servlet to the TOMCAT_HOME/classes/session/WEB-INF/classes
directory, named ServletSession.class. The web.xml is the following:
...
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ServletSession</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ServletSession</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>
5
</session-timeout>
</session-config>
<web-app>
In the server.xml there is a <context> entry:
...
<Context path="/session" docBase="classes/session">
</Context>
...
When I type the http://localhost:8080/session/servlet/ServletSession URL I
always get this error:
Error: 500
Location: /session/servlet/ServletSession
Internal Servlet Error:

I tried to solve this problem, but now I haven't any idea.
Please help me, if you can.
thanx: Hajdu Erno.
