Re: [Qexo-general] useful servlet

[Per Bothner]

I tried a little expierment, replacing this:
        RequestDispatcher rd = context.getNamedDispatcher(servletName);
        rd.forward(request, response);
by:
        try
          {
            Class servletClass = Class.forName(servletName);
            KawaServlet servlet = (KawaServlet) servletClass.newInstance();
            servlet.doGet(request, response);
          }
        catch (Exception ex)
          {
            throw new ServletException(ex.toString());
          }

Didn't work - I got:
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
testservlet
        at gnu.kawa.servlet.KawaPageServlet.doGet(KawaPageServlet.java:78)
...

However, accessing the compiled servlet directly (using the
URL http://localhost:8080/qexo2/servlet/testservlet) works,
so at least the actual generated servlet works.  Tomcat
just can't find it when using Class.forName.  I guess that's
expected, though I don't know how Tomcat sets up class-loding.
