Servlet failed to preload on startup in Web application

[Sat Nar]

Hi,
I have a servlet and when i start the server, i get the error message

"Servlet failed to preload on startup in Web application"

The servlet is present inside a jar file and the jar has been included in the classpath.

I am not able to move forward. Kindly help me out.

Thanks

Hi,

Please post the full error stack trace and your web.xml will help to find out more on this issue.

It sounds like you indicated that a servlet be loaded on startup of the container, however the container could not load or find it. As suggested, post your web.xml.
