Though this was posted in 2002, I hope someone is still watching this despite the non-descript subject line. I am new to the
java world and have found myself "thrown" into a webmaster role in which myeclipse was used to develop our website - I did not set this beast up. AT any rate in-line with the original post I understand the issue of Tomcat taking care of suppliying the needed .jar file:
servlet-api-2.4.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
However, based on a reply "The
servlet and JSP jar files should never ever ever, and did I mention ever, be placed in a web app's WEB-INF/lib folder" my WEB-INF/lib folder is chaulk full of jar files. Despite this fact and back ttot he original issue - should I just delete the
"servlet-api 2.4.jar" file from my WEB-INF/lib folder and let "servlet-api.jar" in the tomcat/lib folder handle it?
