The specific probelm I am experiencing is as follows:
My directory structure for my class files is :
C:\work\jt\tomcat\webapps\jd\WEB-INF\classes
within this directory I have a package which right now
consists of one class file. The class file follows the
correct directory stucture as noted in the
specification. The specific structure of this package
is:
C:\work\jt\tomcat\webapps\jd\WEB-INF\classes\com\javaexchange\dbConnectionBroker
My goal is to add a new class file to this package:
I am trying to add a class called HttpServletJXGB to
this package.
Now my class files which are not part of this package
(which reside in the
C:\work\jt\tomcat\webapps\jd\WEB-INF\classes) are
going to extend the HttpServletJXGB class. However
when I try to implement them with this setup I get the
following error:
Error: 500
Location: /jd/dbConnection
Internal Servlet Error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.ClassLoader.resolveClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.resolveClass(Unknown Source)
etc......
I thought perhaps there was a problem with my
servlets, but if I move the HttpServletJXGB file to
the C:\work\jt\tomcat\webapps\jd\WEB-INF\classes
directory, everything works o.k. I have determined
that the classes can't find the HttpServletJXGB class
if they are placed in the packeage directory. I've
tried adding the location of HttpServletJXGB to the
classpath, but that doesn't work either.
Thanks,
