Actually, yes, I would like to use the Debian package. I like
the ease of installing/upgrading/removing packages with apt-get.
While I was investigating the problem, I started to notice that
it 'magically went away' somehow... so I did the following test:
* Compile a class file and put it under WEB-INF/classes/
* restart tomcat
* check the URL -> i get the NoClassDefFound error (for HttpServlet)
that i described earlier.
-> now I wait for about 10 to 20 minutes
* I restart tomcat
* I refresh the webpage in my browser... and now magically it
works!
What I conclude from this, is that the servlet-api.jar is at the
right place, but somehow it takes a while for tomcat to notice
this.
My only problem is that, taking into account the above behavior, I
have no clue where to look for the possible cause of this.
If somebody could point me in the right direction, it would be
very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Bart
