listener tag is not working in Tomcat

[Sreeraj G Harilal]

I create a ServletContext Listener class

    
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
 
class MyContextListener implements ServletContextListener 
{
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) 
{
System.out.println("Destroyed");
}
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent e)
{
System.out.println("Initialized");
ServletContext sc = e.getServletContext();
System.out.println(sc.getInitParameter("name"));
}
}

then i add the listener tag in web.xml file

<listener>
<listener-class>
MyContextListener
</listener-class>
</listener>

my problem is if i put listener tag in web.xml my web application is not starting.
ranchers, Please tell me what is the problem.

First, Try to remove the extra spaces

<listener>
<listener-class>MyContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

Then, put the listener into a package. You'll get unpredictable results by putting your classes in the default package.

Satou, still its not working.I removed the space but still not wrking.
Another thing is i am not working with default web application.i hve a directory named Manning under webapps.

Is it the problem of tomcat?

Sorry everyone.It was my fault. I forget to make that listener class public.
Sorry once again.
