hi craig,
thanks for the suggestion. here is the result of my finding. i have
checked that i do not have a servlet.jar or jsdk.jar file in my
%JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory.
1. to be sure, i have reinstalled tomcat4.0 02/22/2001 nightly build on a
new directory. created a RS directory (and its subdirectories) under
webapps directory. compiled the following test servlet and put the
bytecode file into the classes directory. no script was
modified. everything is working for this case. here is the servlet code
and web.xml for my RS context.
TestServlet.java:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class TestServlet extends GenericServlet {
public void service(
ServletRequest request,
ServletResponse response) throws IOException,
ServletException
{
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Hello World!</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Hello World!</h1>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}
}
web.xml:
<?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/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
Test
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
TestServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>
2. since i want my servlets to be in a package, i put following the
package
statement in the code.
package com.nn.rn.rs;
compiled it and put the bytecode in com/nn/rn/rs directory under
the classes directory. changed the servlet-class to
com.nn.rn.rs.TestServlet in the web.xml file. restarted tomcat and
everything is still fine.
3. since i want my servlets to reside in c:\projects\com\..., i put the
bytecode file there. i modified catalina.bat to include c:\projects in
the class path to look for my servlet. restarted tomcat and i got the
following error. when i tried to fix this error by including the
servlet.jar in my class path, i got the "not a servlet" error described
in the original note.
where did i go wrong? thanks for your help!
