Hi,

 I am working in WL6.1. I have deployed a war file. My war file contains a html and a servlet(WEB-INF\classes). I am able to access my html file. BUt once I try to access the servlet I get the following error. Please help.

Thanks & regards,

Best pattern ever. I'm going to use it on every project from now on.

I think I figured the problem . But suggestions are welcome.
I think while I created the war, some phantom directories were present. When I physically move the files and I created a new folder structure, my war file seems to work fine.

Thanks

I am sure that you did not understand the spirit of the previous post. You must look at the name of the forum and post your message accordingly. The question you posted would have been more appropriate in the:

  Web tier: servlets, JSP, Web frameworks forum

This discussion forum is for Design Patterns.

Anyway - the solution for you problem may be the missing package of your servlet. In my experience, servlets must not be located in the default package. Simply put it in a package (e.g. test.TestHello). It should work now.

Cheers,
