[Ashik Uzzaman]

Pals,
I find no problem in the following deployment descriptor, but my tomcat4.0.4 finds
It reports problem in /web-app/servlet. Tell me why....:rooleyes:

I knew the problem was simple and the solution was simpler.
The <jsp-file> element takes the relative path.
So it would be

<jsp-file>
/survey/surveyTrack.jsp
</jsp-file>

There were some minor typing mistakes also. So I am giving here the full web.xml file again.
