Can you show us the code? If you aren't calling YourNewServlet.init(ServletContext) then you will probably get NPEs. Tomcat provides lots of bootstrap services for servlets that you will have to provide yourself if you want to load, instantiate, and configure servlets yourself. > there's no http request on this class. i've also declared this > class as a servlet in the web.xml of my app. That may not matter, depending on what your code it doing. Tomcat is likely to create an Servlet instance that you cannot access, and you're just wasting memory. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1HM/UACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PA3oACeLT8bjyT2BY4w5Rq/DCTI3ghN VqgAn3HryldcUCRxrBIHQrKhXkwdDhRs =7JfY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
