    Problem deploying WAR

      Hi,

      I want to deploy a WAR, soap.war, in JBoss-Jetty environment (JDK1.3.1 / Win2000). I copied the soap.war into %JBOSS_HOME%jboss/deploy and launch JBoss. The exception I get is



      [16:53:09,500,J2eeDeployer] Destroying application soap.war
      [16:53:09,703,AutoDeployer] DeploymentInfo failed:file:/D:/server/jboss/jboss/deploy/soap.war
      org.jboss.deployment.J2eeDeploymentException: Error while starting soap.war: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet, Cause: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet

      Obviously the JVM complains that javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet is missing but it is inside lib/javax.servlet.jar? Why can't it refer it from there since it is loaded when JBoss is launched? What should I do to deploy soap.war the "JBoss-way" ?

          what version of JBoss/Jetty ?
          where is your javax.servlet.jar ?
          does it contain javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet ?


          chances are, the problem is with your installation as this is pretty fundamental and no-one else has reported it.
