To work around it (for example, during development), add a load-on-startup tag to each. fillup On 6/5/02 10:56 PM, "tek1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > does anyone know which catalina class is responsible for loading the > servlet and filter classes specified in the web.xml file? > > i've noticed that when i start tomcat that tomcat gives no notification > when the classes, specified in web.xml (i.e. <filter-class> or > <servlet-class>), are not valid. > > if possible, i would like to fix this problem, i feel that it would be > better if the class loader printed out a message when tomcat starts that > the specified servlet/filter could not be found. > > thank you. > > > > environment info > -------------- > tomcat version: 4.0.4b3 > os: windows2000 > java version: jdk1.3.1_03 > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
