Hi Will,
Thanks for the quick response!
I'm thinking that there's a servlet problem (I'm extending the
VelocityServlet) as TomCat can't instantiate the servlet. the error message
I get is:
INFO: Marking servlet WeddingPathServlet as unavailable
Feb 11, 2006 12:22:59 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve
invoke
SEVERE: Allocate exception for servlet WeddingPathServlet
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.weddingpath.web. WeddingPathServlet
at
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:10
55)
at
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.allocate(StandardWrapper.java:757)
It all works fine on a jdk1.4.2 setup so the ClassCastException made me
think that perhaps the init() method of the VelocityServlet is doing
something that the 1.5 jvm doesn't like?
We haven't had to do much with velocity in the past (it's soooo easy to use
:-) ) so looking at the code now, I notice that VelocityServlet has been
deprecated.perhaps there's an issue here???
Has anyone else had this ClassCastException problem? I could be going down
the wrong road here and it could be a TomCat issue - be good to know though.
Thanks again
Sujay
