Perhaps the problem is that your servlet *is* being started, but is throwing an exception during constructor or init method..print statements in your constructor and init method should prove this one way or another. The load-on-startup value is just an integer that indicates order of startup (low numbers first). The value you've used is just a very very low integer :-) Actually, you might want to use "0" or "1" as your load-on-startup value, to ensure that the DefaultServlet (which uses this -ve value itself to try to get started before everything else) does actually get started before your servlet code. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Wentzel [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2001 7:15 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Q:load on startup > > When trying to configure a servlet to load > at server startup using: > > <servlet> > <servlet-name> > PDFStyle > </servlet-name> > <servlet-class> > reporting.PDFStyleServlet > </servlet-class> > <load-on-startup> > -2147483645 > </load-on-startup> > </servlet> > > I get the following: > > cannot load servlet name: PDFStyle > > The class file is in the Web-inf/classes/reporting path > as it should be but it's still not loading. > > Any ideas on what's wrong?
