By the way I'm using Eclipse 3.0.2 and Tomcat 5.5, and with the rest of the servlets in the same package I don't have any problem.
Thanks!

What problem are you having with this servlet?

It shows that Servlet does not exist:
HTTP Status 404 - Servlet ListManagerServlet is not available
but I set everything same like for the other servlets from the package(I mean web.xml)

That is a very general error, check your tomcat logs to see what is going on.

Tim thanks for your reply, but I still don't found out what is going on!
I've found in log smthg like "INFO: Marking servlet ListManagerServlet as unavailable".

"INFO: Marking servlet ListManagerServlet as unavailable".

What about before that? The container is marking the servlet as unavailable for a reason -- usually because an exception was thrown while loading it.

But I realy cannot find it :-((!

This is all what it show me:

But, thanx anyway!

Your servlet is not in a package - this is probably preventing the class file from being found.

Thks Bill, but I think that's not a problem 'coz all other works well from the same package(default package), and I was set it in web.xml file, like the others...
i feel sicK!

Are you sure that an exception is not being thrown by your code in init? Althought normally I would expect any exceptions thrown to show up on the logs, try adding some logging statements (System.out.println) before the throw statements.

Now that I think about Sonny's suggestion - the only way you can get a not available message that I know of is if the NotAvailableException is thrown.
So it is likely that your web.xml is not providing the addressfile parameter.
Trying to debug servlets that are not put in packages is a hopeless task - thats what years of experience on this and other forums has shown. Just go ahead and bite the bullet - learn how to use packages and pay close attention to the correct form of web.xml. Also - do NOT use the /servlet/ form of URL addressing that requires the use of the "invoker" servlet.
Bill

Thanks Sonny, Bill
Really I'm still new in servlets and I really want to bite the bullet, I don't expect to somebody make job for me, any way this is just one example what I trying to work...
I know that is best way for learning is go inside and try to fix what is the problem, but like I'm said all the other servlet behave normal except this one... b.t.w. this how looks my web.xml

filename = config.getInitParameter("addressfile");

where is init-param for parameter addressfile in your web.xml ???

Shailesh

That's it Shailesh, thanks a lot.
I must learn more about servlet deploying...
Just another question why in the log file this doesn't show me that exception is thrown?
