Tomcat in Eclipse Error 500 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

[Vitalstatistix]

Hey, I've just been working on this tutorial here:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-tomcat/index.html

It has been pretty good and I've got the jsp page to show the time but when
I try going to the
HelloServlet I get the error 500.

Sorry I don't know how to add code tags in this forum. I'm using Tomcat 6.
I've
made no changes to ANY web.xml files, I simply followed that short basic
tutorial step by step. My HelloServlet.java class is exactly the same as in
the tutorial and is in the same package.
Could you please tell me why it can't seem to find the class?

Thanks heaps,

:)

Looks like Tomcat can't find your servlet class.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.example.servlets.HelloServlet

Okay, so you've gotten to the "Hello World Servlet" section? Do you have
this line of code at the very top of the file:

package com.example.servlets

?

Check the exact spelling: it's important.

<display-name>HelloServlet</display-name>

This definition looks correct.

This mapping is correct. You are visiting
http://yoursite/example/HelloServlet and getting 500, then?

I'm not sure where Eclipse puts all its files, but if you could
track-down the location of the deployment directory (often something
like /foo/bar/tomcat-x.y.z/webapps/example) and give us a file listing
including subdirectories and files in those subdirectories, we might be
able to help.

Hey thanks 4 the response,

Yes, I do have:

package com.example.servlets;

At the top of my HelloServlet.java file.

So still stuck :(

Subject: Re: Tomcat in Eclipse Error 500
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
package com.example.servlets;
At the top of my HelloServlet.java file.

And where exactly is the .class file located?

What happens if you run Tomcat directly, not under Eclipse?

SOLVED:

There was no HelloServlet.class file so I had to put an empty main method
into the HelloServlet.java class and run it to generate the
HelloServlet.class file, then I placed the class file in the WEB-INF folder
and it all worked fine.

Thanks

Er, what?

1. There's no need for an empty main method.
2. We usually just compile a .java file to get a .class

Yeh that was just a dodgy hack to get around my initial errors when using
javac. I found out later the reason why javac wasn't working on my servlet
class was because servlet-api.jar wasn't on the classpath,
after adding that I was able to compile it the normal way. Also the solution
is NOT to put it in the WEB-INF folder, you need to have your .class file in
the build/classes/<Yourpackage> folder.

It'll eventually need to end up in

WEB-INF/classes/my/package.AServlet.class

or, inside a jar, e.g.

WEB-INF/lib/myservlets.jar

or you won't be able to deploy the web app...
