Well after playing with web.xml I got my app up and partly working in Tomcat 7.
When I go to http://localhost:7080/allMATCHWeb the default page is loaded. My properties file is loaded and language based webpages generated, etc. Now my issue seems to be with web services. Again the web.xml contains the following for each webservice. <servlet> <servlet-name>MessageServiceServlethttp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.surecomp.allMATCH.client.webservices.MessageService</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MessageServiceServlethttp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>MessageService</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Now, these work for webshpere and weblogic, so I am assuming (bad thing I know) that the same would work for Tomcat. The log file is producing the following when deploying the services. INFO: Marking servlet MessageServiceServlethttp as unavailable Jan 28, 2011 5:59:40 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext loadOnStartup SEVERE: Servlet /allMATCHWeb threw load() exception java.lang.ClassCastException: com.surecomp.allMATCH.client.webservices.MessageService cannot be cast to javax.servlet.Servlet at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1048) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:996) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContext.java:4741) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext$3.call(StandardContext.java:5062) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext$3.call(StandardContext.java:5057) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Jan 28, 2011 5:59:40 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log Sincerely, Robert Jenkin Surecomp Services, Inc. 2 Hudson Place, 4th Floor Hoboken, NJ 07030 Skype: robert.jenkin Office: 201 217 1437 | Direct: 201 716 1219 | Mobile: 908 251 0537 http://www.Surecomp.com -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:ch...@christopherschultz.net] Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 2:54 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: deploying a war file and starting the application -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Robert, On 1/28/2011 1:09 PM, robert.jen...@surecomp.com wrote: > I have downloaded and configured Tomcat 7.

Images are stripped from posts to the list. Can you post it somewhere online and give us a link?

Again, including web.xml should help. Note that using an "InitServlet" hasn't been recommended since the addition of the ServletContextListener interface a long time ago. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1DHsYACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBhSQCeNtR93FGfQecpwJ/n02ioUhpP x2MAn2WmpQ0vzJ3YAbrMQrE9SnMmOq++ =WYyb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org This mail was sent via Mail-SeCure System.
