Cannot find servlet

[Thom Hehl]

Sigh, I don't know why I keep having problems like this. I have the 
following servlet:

package rex;
/*
* Copyright 2006, Heavyweight Software. All rights reserved.
*/
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;

import rex.IdxFileConverter;

/**
* servlet to simply launch the rex conversion process
*/
public final class LaunchRex extends HttpServlet
{
   Boring stuff here...
}

Here is my web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";
   version="2.4">

   <display-name>Launches the REX converter</display-name>
   <description>
       Launches the REX converter
   </description>

   <servlet>
       <servlet-name>LaunchRex</servlet-name>
       <servlet-class>
           rex.LaunchRex
       </servlet-class>
   </servlet>

   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>LaunchRex</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/LaunchRex</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

I have stored LaunchRex.class in rex.jar file in the lib directory of my 
webapp.  When I access http://localhost:81/rex/LaunchRex I get this error:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Wrapper cannot find servlet class rex.LaunchRex 
or a class it depends on
        
org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105)

org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:684)
        java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I'm not sure where to look next. Help?

Thanks.
