Servlet doesn't return after init()

[Will Sargent]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to Tomcat, although I know servlets pretty well.  I have a 
problem with my XML-RPC application; I can get the servlet to run fine 
as a stand alone, and I can register it as a servlet, but somehow I 
can't get any response back from it after it loads.

I'm using Log4J as the logging service, and although I can get the 
initial log, I don't get any response from the doGet() or doPost() 
methods -- and I've tried System.out.println() on both of them without 
response.

I've also turned on verbosity=4 on everything I could lay hands on and 
turned on the RequestValueDumper... but no luck.  I have absolutely no 
idea why I can't map http://localhost:8080/bookie to my servlet.

Here's my web.xml file in case you know what I'm doing wrong.

Any clue as to what I should do next?  I'd love to be able to see what 
every request to tomcat was doing...

Will.
