Tomcat JDBC problems

[David Eagen]

I'm having some trouble getting JDBC to work with a servlet running
under Tomcat on a RedHat 6.2 server. When the servlet tries to load, an
internal sever error is returned (500) with the following:

Internal Servlet Error:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: esBillSummary
at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:237)
at
org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.loadServlet(ServletWrapper.java:268)

org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.init(ServletWrapper.java:289)

at
org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:498)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)

What's going on here? The driver's jar file is in the classpath.

I can be wrong, but looks like Tomcat can not
load something with name "esBillSummary",
most probably you page, JB or some class...
(well before any DB call...)

check if your tomcat and you pages has
proper access level to working directory.
try to start Tomcat as a root (if you have
such possibility)...

Please wait while I slap myself upside the head.....

For some reason I thought it was having a problem opening the driver.
However, the problem was loading the servlet itself.

Looking closer at the source made the error obvious. I forgot to declare
the esBillSummary class public!

It's working fine now....

Thanks.
