Title: Servlets In A Package

Well,

 

I'm completely mystified. I've taken this servlet out of the package, placed it in WEB-INF/classes and changed web.xml accordingly.

 

I've stopped and started tomcat but I get the same error:

 

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/docs/interest/Interest

*including* the reference to the original package path!

 

Is tomcat cacheing this stuff someplace?

 

Help!!

 

Thanks,

 

Martin

Hi,

I've recently installed JBoss-2.4.0_Tomcat-3.2.2 and I'm now starting to experiment with all the JBoss samples. The first, Interest, contains a servlet that I'm trying to get up and running.

This InterestServlet is in a package org.jboss.docs.interest which I've compiled and placed in

webapps\demo\WEB-INF\classes\org\jboss\docs\interest

demo\WEB-INF\web.xml looks like:

------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">

<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>
            interest
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.jboss.docs.interest.InterestServlet
        </servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>
            interest
        </servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>
            /catalog
        </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
------------------------------------------

and I've added the following to conf\server.xml

------------------------------------------
        <Context path="/demo"
                 docBase="webapps/demo"
                 crossContext="false"
                 debug="0"
                 reloadable="true" >
        </Context>
------------------------------------------

When I enter http://localhost:8080/demo/catalog in my browser I get:

------------------------------------------
Location: /demo/catalog
Internal Servlet Error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/docs/interest/Interest

------------------------------------------

I've looked at other TomCat samples, in particular webapps\test\WEB-INF\classes\requestMap and I appear
to have done everything right but I can't make sense of this.

Could someone help me?

Thanks,

Martin
