Tomcat deployment problem: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

[mike wade]

Please Help,
I just tested my gwt app with RPC on hosted mode, it works fine. When
I deployed the app to Tomcat (Linux) it does not work. I get the
following message when the client issue a RPC call to the server: "The
call failed on the server; see server log for details" .

I included system.out.println in the server code, but nothing gets
printed, which mean that the server is not being executed and cannot
be the problem.

When I looked at the logs of Tomcat I see the following error:
Apr 3, 2009 2:05:00 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
SEVERE: Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call

Buddy,

Check that you are using the gwt-servlet-*.jar and NOT the gwt-user-*
and gwt-dev-* jars for your deployment.
