Hi,

I have the following code on my apache-tomcat server (see below).
(debian, java 1.5)

it should call HelloWorldServlet, which is in the same directory.

but I get again and again the following error-message (see below).

I tried to find an answer in the web, but only could find that may be there
is a class double in different directories with different versions.
for compilation and for running there would be used different
java-classpathes.

I do compilation on that server of that HelloWorldServlet2-java-class
without problems.

could there be another problem ?
how could I find out, which class I have double on my server ?

thanks a lot for help in advance.

regards
Alex
