web.xml in 3.3.1a

[Gopal Shah]

Hi All,
I am using Tomcat 3.3.1a server and am trying to fetch the initialization params from web.xml file.
I don't know where I am making a mistake but the servlet is not taking initialization params from the file web.xml.
The directory structure of web.xml file is

D:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\web.xml

The directory structure of my servlet class is

D:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\Test\ShowMessage.class

The code for web.xml is as follows:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd">
<web-app>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>
      ShowMsg
    </servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
      Test.ShowMessage
    </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>
        message
      </param-name>
      <param-value>
        Shibboleth
      </param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>
        repeats
      </param-name>
      <param-value>
        5
      </param-value>
    </init-param>
  </servlet>
</web-app>
