All the jars which was used inside eclipse classpath is avaiable in Tomcat lib folder. The webapp is getting deployed with out any error logs, but when i try to access one servlet, this exception occurs, and i get it logged in the tomcat logs. Can any one help with this?

The package names are proper inside 'classes', also, the web.xml is proper. 

I dont know then why this happens. There are certain other webapps, which almost uses the same libs running fine. Expecting some one can help me with this..

Thanks

Answer 1

Finally , got my mistake. This was a problem caused by the eclipse build. Since the build was not proper, the class files where corrupted. I cleaned up the whole project, took a fresh build, now its working fine. Thanks for your replies.

Answer 2

Somehow you are missing the servlet-api.jar. It should be located in the tomcat\lib folder.
