for this I already include commons-logging-1.0.4.jar and frontman-1.6.2.jar in WEB-INF/lib.

I am using Netbeans IDE 7.0.

Anything i miss here?

Thanks.

the above is solved by adding log4j api into lib directory.

but now have another problem when hit the url to get helloworld message.

any idea?

commandsPath should identify a package, not a class.

Thanks bear, its works.

great!! moving a head to use this command/view properties and login command process.

now having another problem when adding a mysql connection for user authentication. if I run this app without adding a .jar file into it.. no complain.

for lib using WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin

when this url http://localhost:8080/FMApp/command/viewLoginPage

Any idea why am I facing this error?
Thanks.

No idea. But it has nothing to do with FrontMan.
