Hi there,

I've been using this book for a while since I bought it. Still, I was never able to run the 1st example. A basic Servlet.
I have now tomcat7, compiled ok, installed ok (followed the instructions!).
I've tried many different ways to get it working. Still, no luck.
Latest, I added the web.xml file for this servlet (really basic).
and I always get http 500
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: basicServlets.BasicServet.

url used: localhost:8080/servletAPI/BasicServlet

All the rest of the httpservlets, worked ok. I came back to this one as a personal challenge...


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks in advance and best regards
