Problem with Tutorial for 1.4.1 IDE -- Should I get 1.5M2?

[mwynn]

I used the eclipse update mgr and installed 1.4.1 as this seemed the cleanest way (and was reccommended in the documentation).

Now I'm having trouble with the 1.4.1 tutorial. When I try to run the fibo app (http://localhost:8080/fibo/) I get:

"The requested resource (/fibo/) is not available" from tomcat BUT I get nothing new in the log.

the first time I got this I noticed that i was getting a tomcat error in the log re: clustering not working SO I restarted JBOSS with the "all" config. rather than the"default" and this error message went away. However, I still get the same tomcat error above when I deploy and try to access the above link -- and still no logging.

Any ideas?

Is this something that may be fixed in 1.5M2? and if so, do I just unzip the 1.5M2 download over the 1.4.1 source I got from the eclipse udate/mgr? (1.5M2 doesn't show up as an update in eclipse update mgr)

Sorry so lengthy -- I appreciate any help you can offer.

Did you deploy the .ear file ?

Ok, just to let you know that I recently follow the tutorial like you with the 1.4.1 version and everything went smoothly and ran perfectly.

I suggest that you look into the deploy folder of JBoss to see if FiboApp.ear is there.

There was a bug in my web.xml file but I corrected that.
Then I got a ClassCastException when the servlet tried to invoke the home interface.

I found documention in another forum that said to remove the web-inf/classes prefix from the packaging configuration for web classes.

This fixed the problem BUT i have no idea why it fixed the problem. It has fixed the problem in other projects too.

Any idea why NOT putting the servlet class in the WEB-INF/classes fixes the problem? Isn't this the j2ee spec?
