>>Tomcat 6.0 supports version 2.5 of the servlet spec, whereas Tocmat 5.5 uses 2.4; the 2.5 spec includes resource >>annotations, whereas 2.4 doesn't. You didn't bother to specify a spec version in your web.xml.
Do you suggest I put the 2.4 servlet spec version in web.xml? >>so Tomcat chose the one appropriate for its level; Tomcat 6.0 honored your annotations while Tomcat 5.5 ignored them. >>Since the declared resources weren't available, you received the appropriate error messages. Resource.class is present in lib directory under annotations-api.jar. WebServiceContext.class is also present under the $CATALINA_HOME/lib directory. Do you see any version problem in these classes? --Bharath
