Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi All,

I am trying Servlet Filters with Tomcat 5. I have configured my application and the web file which includes the following Filter Tags

<filter>
<filter-name>countFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>/countFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>countFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>GenServ</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>

<servlet>
<servlet-name>GenServ</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>/GenServ</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GenServ</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/GenServ</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Both the classes are in myApp/WEB-INF/classes/ Folder ....

When starting the Log file gives SEVERE : ERROR filterStart Error and myApp fails to start.

Can someone guide !!!
