Hello,

I am running Tomcat 3.1 on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. I have apache
1.3.12. I am using Sun's JDK for Linux 1.2.2.

I am trying to get an Enhydra servlet working with Tomcat. Enhydra
servlet applications consist of two parts: a jar containing the actual
application code, and the enhydra jar file. I have created a directory
(called martinja) underneath the webapps directory in the
jakarta-tomcat directory. Underneath martinja I created
WEB-INF/classes. Inside of the classes directory I created symlinks to
the jar files. 

This is the web.xml file I have in the WEB-INF directory:

<?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>
            photo
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.enhydra.Servlet
        </servlet-class>
	<init-param>
	    <param-name>ConfFile</param-name>
	    <param-value>/home/martinja/src/photoRequest/output/photoRequest.conf</param-value>
	</init-param>
    </servlet>
</web-app>

The class org.enhydra.Servlet is in the enhydra.jar file in the
classes directory.

In TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml I put the following entry:

        <Context path="/martinja" docBase="webapps/martinja" debug="1" reloadable="true" > 
        </Context>

in the appropriate section. I have apache redirecting requests from
/java to the /martinja context. When I try to load
"http://localhost/java/photo" or
"http://localhost/java/org.enhydra.Servlet" I get a 404 not found
error from Jakarta. The apache logs show that the request was passed
through just fine, but apparently Jakarta is not finding the
classes.

What information am I missing? I appreciate any help.

later,
joseph
