[Durga Kannan]

Hi All,
I am new to this. I need a suggestion/help for my problem. I have created a Dymanic Web project in eclipse. Iam having a servlet & 2 JSP pages in it. When iam trying to access my application after deploying my WAR file, am geting 500- Internal server error. Iam haivng java complier compliance level 1.6. Am using Tomcat v5.5 server.

Is this because of my Web.xml file which am having in WEB-INF/web.xml file? Please help me understand what kind of error this is. .

Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks so much in advance.

This is my web.xml file:
