Configuring Servlet Virtual path translation

Question

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody could help me out with this.
I am running iWS 4.1, and iAS6.0 on top of it.
I created a war file called myApp.war, which contains a servlet called
myServlet.
Then I created an ear file called myApp.ear which contains myApp.war, and
deployed myApp.ear on the application server.
Now: I am trying to set up a virtual path to access myServlet, so that
http://<server_id>/myServlet maps to myServlet.
I modified the following files under the config directory of the webserver:
1. In context.properties, I added a context called myContext with the
following properties:
context.myContext.classpath=<iPlanet App Server
path>/ias/APPS/myApp/myApp/WEB-INF/
2. In servlets.properties,
servlet.myServlet.classpath=<iPlanet App Server
path>/ias/APPS/myApp/myApp/WEB-INF/classes
servlet.myServlet.code=myServlet
servlet.myServlet.initArgs=initial=0
servlet.myServlet.context=myContext
3. In rules.properties,
/myServlet=myServlet
Now when I try to access myServlet through the virtual path
http://<server_id>/myServlet
the webserver error logs say the following:
warning ( 3080): Unable to locate class: myServlet
(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: myServlet)
warning ( 3080): Internal error: Failed to get GenericServlet.
(uri=/myServlet,SCRIPT_NAME=/myServlet)
What am I doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
