As an add-on - I successfully mapped the Tomcat servlet example "HelloWorldServlet" to my /servlet directory successfully through my web.xml file. I did this to make sure that a servlet with no package could be deployed the way I am attempting (HelloWorldExample has no package). The ONLY error I encountered while deploying the HelloWorldExample, was it complained that the ResourceBundle the code was looking for couldn't be found. I recompiled the servlet without the ResourceBundle code and the servlet worked correctly. (I wasn't sure how to configure the ResourceBundle in the code. I copied all the files the resource bundle seemed to be referring to into my /servlet directory along with the compiled HelloWorldServlet code, but it still complained on execution that it couldn't locate the resource, so it was easier for me to comment it out.)
This tells me I can definitely deploy a servlet the way I am trying to, but it also raises questions about why the resource bundle couldn't be located. Is all of this really a classpath or class loader issue in some way? -----Original Message----- From: Darren Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 2:46 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: (newb) Tomcat servlet mapping problem > On 1/23/06, Darren Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > From: Darren Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Subject: RE: (newb) Tomcat servlet mapping problem > > > > > > > > Is there a way I can map these servlets (in the web.xml file) so > > > > that Tomcat can see them and execute them? > > > > > As far as I can see, it just works.

I'm working with Tomcat 5.0, Apache 2, and a whole bunch of servlets that I inherited. The website is a combination of static HTML and java. 95% of the java code is implemented in servlets (that write out the dynamic HTML) and NONE of the Java code is in packages. The HTML on the site, when referring to servlets, uses relative paths like <form action="../servlet/<servlet-name>". In order to remove the invoker servlet, I need to map all the servlets on the site through a web.xml file. Initially, I was getting a "resource unavailable" error from Tomcat, but it now appears as if my servlet mapping was wrong. (my app lived in the ${catalina.home}/webapp/servlet directory, and my web.xml was mapping a servlet to <url-mapping>/servlet/[servlet-name]</url-mapping>. I fixed this by removing the '/servlet' in the <url-mapping> tag, and I now get a stack trace with a "ClassDefNotFound" [servlet-name] error. This error occurs when I point at Tomcat directly, so I know the error has nothing to do with Apache. I now have a stripped down web.xml file that looks like this (minus the xml and DOCTYPE directives): ... <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>FLCUpEvDisplayServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>FLCUpEvDisplayServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>FLCUpEvDisplayServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/FLCUpEvDisplayServlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> Now everytime I hit the servlet, I get the "ClassDefNotFound" error, and after that I see an entry in the log file: 2006-01-23 11:35:53 StandardContext[/servlet]Marking servlet FLCUpEvDisplayServlet as unavailable 2006-01-23 11:35:53 StandardContext[/servlet]Error loading WebappClassLoader delegate: false repositories: /WEB-INF/classes/ after which I get a "resource is not available" error again, until I stop and restart Tomcat. So, my question is... why am I getting the "ClassDefNotFound" error, and how do I correct it (or can I, given my current configuration)?
