[Wicket-user] beginner: error with simple HelloWorld App with tomcat 5.5

[karthik Guru]

Hi All,

 

I just started playing around with wicketsince yesterday and i ran into a strange problem with tomcat 5.5

As long as I have all the required wicket jars under "webapps/Context/WEB-INF/lib", things seem to be working fine. Moment I move the wicket jars from the "webapps/Context/WEB-INF/lib" to

"Tomcat 5.5\shared\lib", i see an exception when accessing the page.

 

exception:

 

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet HelloWorldApplication threw exception
org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105)
org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service (CoyoteAdapter.java:148)
 

rootcause:

 

wicket.WicketRuntimeException: Unable to create application of class com.wicketdev.app.HelloWorldApplication
wicket.protocol.http.ContextParamWebApplicationFactory.createApplication(ContextParamWebApplicationFactory.java :58)
wicket.protocol.http.WicketServlet.init(WicketServlet.java:245)
 

Any idea what is the cause for this error?

 

thanks

karthik
