Hi! I am new to this list, and to the Tomcat Jakarta. I've been setting things up to get into Java servlets, and I'm still having a problem setting up my desktop as a servlet-capable server. I got Apache's Tomcat (4.0.4) running, and it takes their own examples quite well. I also have my JCreator IDE compiling the example servlets I found OK. But when I run _these_ examples, trouble starts...
I have rewritten my web.xml file to contain the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>list</servlet-name> <servlet-class>ListManagerServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>list</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/list</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> (this is the ENTIRE content, just in case) I keep getting a "Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 - HTTP Status 503 - Servlet invoker is currently unavailable" message when using the "http://localhost/servlet/list" URL to access my ListManagerServlet! The ListManagerServlet is in the path "D:\Java\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes". What am I doing wrong here? I can make no sense of it.....
