Does anyone get the following error

[kenneth See]

Hi all,

I have studied the HFSJ and worked on the example of BeerSelect servlet. I have followed the example and deploy my servlet accordingly. However, I always get

---------------------------------------
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

I have already checked that
I have my servlet inside directory C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\Beer-v1\WEB-INF\com\example\web

Does anyone know why it cannot run? Many thanks for your help.

Don't you have classes folder in

Beer-v1\WEB-INF\classes\com\example\web

like this in your path? May be that's the problem.

As stated JVM is not able to find the class com.example.web.BeerSelect,
see where does the compiled class file go to?

Generally class files are placed under "classes" directory under WEB-INF,
where container looks for them.

Thank you, my friend.
