Re: class xxx is not a servlet ?
Hi Craig, Found it. After your pointer about class mixup's I checked our libraries. Someone had sneaked in j2ee.jar which had a copy of the javax.servlet.* classes. After I removed this it worked fine. Cheers, Marcus On Thu, 23 Aug 2001, Marcus Crafter wrote: > Hi Craig, > > Thanks for your fast reply! :-) > > On Thu, 23 Aug 2001, Craig R.

The strange thing is that the cocoon sample application works fine, so it must be some config problem with our application. Kind of confused what it could be though. :-( I'll keep trying.

Re: class xxx is not a servlet ?
99.9% cause of this is having servlet.jar in the wrong place (it belongs in $CATALINA_HOME/commons/lib *only*), having it in your Java extensions directory ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext), or hacking it in to the CLASSPATH when Tomcat is started. In particular, IIRC, Cocoon (at least for a while) was including a copy of servlet.jar inside the webapp's /WEB-INF/lib directory. It should absolutely *not* be there.

hehe, this subject line will surely make it past all the net nannies! -Original Message- From: Marcus Crafter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 9:34 AM To: Tomcat User Mailing List Subject: class xxx is not a servlet ? Hi All, Hope all is well. Just tried to see how our applications works with TC4B7. We're getting the following exception in our log file, telling us that our servlet class is not a servlet: 2001-08-23 18:24:31 StandardContext[/diva-fs2]: Servlet /diva-fs2 threw load() exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Class dreba.prj.fs2.fdn.portal.Portal is not a S ervlet at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:81 3) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContex t.java:3240) - Root Cause - java.lang.ClassCastException: dreba.prj.fs2.fdn.portal.Portal at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:80 9) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContex t.java:3240) Portal class derives from CocoonServlet, which derives in turn from HttpServlet. I've compiled our application with the servlet.jar from TC4B7, but I still get the same exception. The application works fine with TC323. Any ideas what this could be ?
