public class MyServletListener implements ServletContextListener {
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
ServletContext sc = event.getServletContext();
String dogBreed = sc.getInitParameter("breed");
Dog d = new Dog(dogBreed);
sc.setAttribute("dog", d);

// nothing to do here
}

the classpath most likely doesnt include the folder where Dog is.

"renrichard", you have previously been warned on multiple occasions regarding adjusting your display name to meet JavaRanch standards. This is not optional, and this is your final warning. Adjust your display name to comply with the required standards prior to your next post.

Your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Failure to comply will result in the removal of your account.

Hi jesus,

I have set the classpath as "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\SL\WEB-INF\classes\com\example".This is where i have Dog.class file. Even after this also, i am getting the same error.

Or

Do i need to set the classpath simply as "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\SL\WEB-INF\classes"---- since the Dog.clas file is inside the package com.example

Please help me in solving this. Many Thanks

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\SL\WEB-INF\classes

Hi Vishal,
Many Thanks!!!
Now it's getting compiled after setting "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\SL\WEB-INF\classes" in the classpath.
