I have a servlet defined in a package and I tried deploy it by adding the following entry to orion/default-web-app/WEB-INF/web.xml: <servlet> <servlet-name>runtest</servlet-name> <servlet-class>test.mytest.TestServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> and then copying the package structure to orion/servlets, creating for example this directory hierarchy: orion/servlets orion/servlets/test orion/servlets/test/mytest orion/servlets/test/mytest/TestServlet.class I also had a directory named "mytest" in the orion/default-web-app directory. This directory contains a number of .jsp and .jpg files. This is what happens: I get a 404 (page not found). If I either rename the directory from "mytest" to something else or change the test.mytest package to something else, it works. In other words there is some sort of name conflict on mytest. Can anyone tell me 1) why this occurs? 2) what's the fix (besides what I tried above) and 3) is this a bug or am I misunderstanging something configuration-wise? Thanks, Kit Cragin
