Cannot load the servlet class

[lokesh rajarathnam]

Hi every one...


The error "Cannot load the servlet class : <package>.loginservlet"

How to overcome this prob...

I think the .class file is missing or cannot created...

What could be the prob....?

Did you want to share first?

Where is the class file located? is it located at <context>/WEB-INF/classes/<package>/LoginServlet

(note the capitalisation in the class name, by convention this is preferred and encouraged rather than all lower case)

and Internal problem occur.

Did you compile your servlet source to create a class file?

Look at Web application directory structure. It explains where to put the compiled classes and JAR files.

Make sure that the class file is inside WEB-INF/classes directory.
