Sounds like you may have not changed the package statement in
ForwardServlet. Remember that the directory structure reflects the package
structure (or vice versa). It looks like it is finding the class
ForwardServlet, but it is the wrong name because it is expecting to find
dir.ForwardServlet (ie. it expects ForwardServlet to be in the dir package).
Hope this helps,

Subject: basic servlet move doesn't work
Hi,
I have a very simple example app.
For testing purposes I moved the servlet into a subdirectory.
So before the move I had
/webapps/Wide_World/WEB-INFO/classes/ForwardServlet.class
and after the move I had
/webapps/Wide_World/WEB-INFO/classes/dir/ForwardServlet.class
according to the docs I've read I can do such a thing and reflect it
I need edit /webapps/Wide_World/web.xml
from:
....<servlet-name>forward</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ForwardServlet</servlet-class>
to
....<servlet-name>forward</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>dir.ForwardServlet</servlet-class>
which I did (and restated tomcat).
However how such simple change doesn't work?
Now when I try to access again the servlet I get:
...HTTP error status 500...
Error allocating a servlet instance....
root cause
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: dir/ForwardServlet (wrong name:
ForwardServlet)...
What's going on!
Thanks
Dom
