ServletException

[Rukmini Nagalla]

Hi,
I am using tomcat 5.5 and I copied the HelloWorldExample servlet from servlet-examples directory into my webapp directory.I have added the following statements in web.xml.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldExample</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldExample</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldExample</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/HelloWorldExample</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
when I run the servlet I get an exception saying:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Wrapper cannot find servlet class /WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldExample or a class it depends on.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mini

"Mini",

We're pleased to have you here with us on the Ranch, but there are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

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

Thanks!

Place your servlet in a package other than the default.

Also, your <servlet-class> declaration should be the fully-qualified name of the class, not its file path.

<servlet-class>/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldExample</servlet-class>

did you try with

<servlet-class>HelloWorldExample</servlet-class>

Thanks Shailesh.I tried your suggestion now I get this error
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name LocalStrings, locale en_US

[Rukmini Nagalla]

HelloWorldExample is not in a package by default I believe. There is no package statement in it'z source file.

I didn't package it.AS it is shipped with tomcat itself, I wondered it should work the same way in my webapps too.I just checked the source code.
Here is the full stack trace from log file:

Thanks Shailesh,I got it.I imported the other string classes and it worked.

If you're looking for a quick way to get a hello world app up and running, you can grab SimpleServlet from http://simple.souther.us.

It's a war file so all you need to do is drop the file in your Tomcat/webapps directory and it will run.

glad to know that you solved it yourself
