Hi,
I am having trouble running a servlet created in a Dynamic Web Project using
the Apache Tomcat 5.5 server. (I am using Eclipse 3.2) While I can run a
relatively simple servlet just fine, as soon as I try to do some
initialization that depends on external lib jar files and my own class
files, I get the NoClassDefFoundError message. When looking in the browser
at http://localhost:8080/servletname, I get the http status error 500. This
seems to be special to servlets, since I can create a class with a static
main() method and it works just fine. If anyone has any ideas, I would be
forever in your debt. If not, could anyone point me to a tutorial that
involves creating a servlet that depends on initialization or external
library files? thanks.
Here is the stack trace that I get. This not only comes up when I try to
run the servlet by right-clicking on it, but also when I start the server.

Any external jars your project needs and won't be provided by the server
(i.e. isn't in common/lib or similar directory) will need to be included
on the J2EE Module Dependencies page of the Properties dialog for the
project. Use the "Add Jars..." button if the jar is somewhere in your
workspace and the "Add External Jars..." button if it is outside of your
workspace.
Cheers,
Larry

Sure, I'll post the code. But it is just a basic servlet. The trouble I
had was mostly with getting the settings right in eclipse. A few pointers
that helped me:
1. Define a new server (new->other->server->server) and follow the wizard
to point to the tomcat installation. I am using tomcat 5.5 and installed it
as windows service, which is the easiest way. I tried putting it on linux.
While the tomcat server works in linux, the eclipse I have on my debian
linux machine could not read the conf file of the tomcat installation. I
tried fiddling with the server.xml file but to no avail.
2. Create a Dynamic web app and settings on properties tab: (right click on
project->properties)
Set the server runtime. A list should appear there of all servers
that you created.
Set the buildpath for the source folders, libraries, etc. to be able to
compile
the project.
Set the J2EE module dependencies. This is the step i missed for
external jar file dependencies. Important for running
the servlet.
Make sure to put your source files in the source package folder. Your
servlet files must be in their source package folders which get compiled to
the build/classes folder. Without the the server that you defined in steps
1 and 2, do not expect the project to recognize the servlet api, because all
the jar files for the J2EE spec come with the servlet container.
Be sure to start the server in the server window. Apparently when you
start it in eclipse, it starts its own instance of the server,
"independent" of whether or not you run it in the windows service.
I hope this helps. If I missed something that does not make any sense, just
let me know again, and i'll try to clarify. This is what I found to work.
Good luck,
David.

That was, as far as I can recall, exactly what I did, except that I have no recollection of whether
I installed Tomcat as a service or not -- any way to find out? (It is on WinXP.)
BTW, somehow or other, Eclipse created for me a "Servers" project -- what's that about? (I can see
that it contains some sort of stuff for the Tomcat 5.5, but what is its function/ purpose/ use?)

There are four kinds of "new Web project" wizards in my Eclipse, and I don't recall which one I used
(the wizard specified in the tutorial, "J2EE Web Project", is not available to me); probably it
matters, so now I try again, using "Dyn. Web" as you say, and am offered a choice of
"Configurations", either "<custom>" or "Web project with XDoclet authoring support" (googling
XDoclet does not tell me much); I choose the "XDoclet", but when the project is created, I get: "The
preferences for the xdoclet runtime does not point to a valid installation." Since I have no clue
how to fix that, I delete and try "<custom>", which seems simply to be the same thing less the
mysterious XDoclet; at least it compiles. This whole wizard looks unfamiliar, so I guess I used
something else before.

Um, that wasn't part of the tutorial, and I didn't do it (usually I work with PDE, where I don't
need to set this sort of thing explicitly), so here I am not sure: what do I need to add and do I
just do it in the Project Properties -> Java Build Path? (In PDE, I add dependencies to the
manifest.mf, using that editor, but here the Manifest.mf is abroken little fragment.)

Yep, that's where I had my source files in the non-functional project; also, since there was no
package structure whatsoever, I created the usual PDE-style nested set of packages under the src
folder, i.e. in this current case, "dyn.web.proj"; the class I created extended HttpServlet. Now I
paste in your sample code (also thanks!) and it all compiles -- so maybe somehow I didn't need to
add anything to the project properties -> build path?

Yes, this is very puzzling to me; I repeatedly but not invariably got "port in use" errors, no
matter what I did. I have long since set the ports on the server known to Eclipse to be 18080,
18005, 18009.
Anyway, when I start my server, Eclispe claims all well; when I try putting
http://localhost:18080/ContactFormServlet OR http://localhost:18080/dyn.web.proj.ContactFormServlet
into a browser, I get the same 404 "service not available".

I used the xdoclet option when setting up dynamic web app. you have to
download the xdoclet and point eclipse to it.
(windows->preferences->xdoclet). I do not know what xdoclet does yet, but
the tutorial I used told me to do it that way. (I think I used some
tutorial on eclipse.org, the one with the snoopservlet.) xdoclet is a
project on sourceforge.net.
(http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/xdoclet/install.html).
In setting the build path, click on the source tab and add your source
folders that are in the project, and the library folder for adding your jar
and external library jars.
With regard to the last step, I have gotten that last message with regards
to the port numbers ("ports in use") whenever I had the tomcat server
running as a windows service and i tried to start the server in eclipse at
the same time. This happened even when I would try stopping the main
server. Apparently, WindowsXP doesnt "give back" those port numbers.
(There must be some sort of tool to manage port numbers, like netstat in
linux.) Try rebooting your system, make sure the tomcat doesnt start
automatically on system startup (There's some configuration in tomcat to do
that.), then start the server within eclipse.

I think Paul's Tomcat server in Eclipse has "1" pre-pended to the port
numbers, so they don't conflict with the service. This should make them
fully independent, though they both use the same Tomcat installation for
the jars that constitute the Tomcat server.

XDoclet is tool to build a web.xml from annotations found in your
servlets and other javax.servlet type classes. XDoclet will completely
rewrite the web.xml each time its builder runs, so you can't manually
make modifications to the file and expect them not to disappear. You
have to place custom content in separate files which will get merged
into the web.xml when it builds. None of the WTP wizards which might
make changes to your web.xml know how to do this, so they aren't going
to work as desired with XDoclet enabled. I would recommend not using it
unless you have a specific need.

For Dynamic Web Projects, it is better to add external library jars
using the J2EE Module Dependencies page (assuming they aren't already
provided by the server). That way they are automatically added to the
build path and will be included in the WEB-INF/lib when the project is
published to a server or exported as a war file.

Changing the port numbers on one of the servers can allow both to run
simultaneously. The gotcha is that if you often manually enter the
URL's with the port, you have to be sure to enter the right one or your
request goes to the wrong server. :(
