Tomcat servlet resource not available

[Mull Sheriff]

Hi to all,
I'm trying for the first to time to set up a servlet on tomcat 6.0.20.

I'm getting the error:

type Status report

message /test

description The requested resource (/test) is not available.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
That's what I did:

1)I have succerfully compiled the code of the servlet and put the .class file inside the /my-app/WEB-INF/classes/ directory.
2)I have created the web.xml file and copied it into /my-app/WEB-INF/ directory.
3)I have all the libs inside the /my-app/WEB-INF/lib/ directory


Here is the web.xml

  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
   version="2.5"> 

    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>servlet.test</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/test</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
 	
</web-app>

Am I missing other steps in order to get a servlet working? Or is the xml code wrong?

thanks in advance for your precious answers.

As I recall, thats the error message you get if the servlet container trys to create the servlet instance and fails. Some more details should appear in the log files.

Checked both Manager and Catalina log files: no error messages found.

How did you deploy your app in Tomcat?
