hi,
i need to write code for a minibanking appilication for my project...its bin going ok till now..where my WTK2.1 is working fine...it actually sends the data to teh servlet..but then the servlet screws up and throws a resource not found...im using tomcat 5.0.26 and theres no servlet.jar there like suggested in the documentation.My web.xml is ok but my server.xml behaves strangely...each time i tried previously viewing the servlet it showed me stuff id written three days ago...the reloadable attribute was set...any help please....thanks a million...

Heres the code

import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;

public class MobileServlet extends HttpServlet
{
//private int mCount;
public void doGet(ServletRequest request,
ServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
//PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter();
InputStream input;
byte []name;
input.read(name);
System.out.println("fff"+name);
String message=new String();
response.setContentType("text/plain");
response.setContentLength(50);
/*PrintWriter requ = request.getWriter();
PrintWriter resp = response.getWriter();
System.out.println("huhhhhhhhhhh");
message="what rubbish!!!";
System.out.println(message);*/
}
}

Heres my web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<url-pattern>/Mobile</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

1. put your servlet in a package and correctly name the package in the servlet-class element of web.xml, change the location of the compiled class files to reflect the packge.
2. As I recall, Tomcat 5 uses a slightly different name for servlet.jar possibly servlet-api.jar
The easiest way to be absolutely sure that your revised code is loaded is to shut down Tomcat and restart it.

how do i do that...put a servlet in a package and stuff...could u guide me through it ...the strnager part is that when i tried th example given in the docs it worked absolutely perfect without any hitches..so i just modified the example a little changed a little changed my web.xml and boom ...resource not found...if the example ran properly..that meant my tomcat was fine..and it properly reloaded...everything fine in short...so why doesnt it wurk when i try my own code..this is extremely strange..any pointers..its really urgent...got to get a lot of stuff done by saturday..
thnx a lot

If you don't understand what a package is in Java, you need to drop back and study the basics. Take a look at this Sun tutorial Table of Contents - there is a section on packages.
