check if your servlet is in your classpath. before starting tomcat, i execute un file "gotomcat.bat" which fix the values for the classpath. see below this file : set JAVA_HOME=d:\jdk\jdk1.2.2 set TOMCAT_HOME=d:\softs\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1 set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jdk\jdk1.2.2 set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jdk\jdk1.2.2\jre\lib\rt.jar set CLASSPATH=%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps set PATH=%PATH%;JAVA_HOME\bin set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\tutu\WEB-INF\lib\tutu1.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\tutu\WEB-INF\lib\tutu2.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\tutu\WEB-INF\classes -----Message d'origine----- De : Jeffrey Worst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : mercredi 25 juillet 2001 17:54 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Simple (I think) Running Tomcat Question I believe I now have Tomcat running successfully. But... After starting Tomcat I get the following screen: 01-07-25 11:37:26 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( ) 01-07-25 11:37:26 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /test ) 01-07-25 11:37:29 - PoolTcpConnector: Starting HttpConnectionHandler on 8080 01-07-25 11:37:29 - PoolTcpConnector: Starting Ajp12ConnectionHandler on 8007 I then tried to run the Hello World applet. When I successfully compile and then try to run an applet, I get this error message: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main Any ideas why?
