How ot use servlet as the element of portlet?

Question

I am newbie for weblogic portal. I have tried to created a testing
portlet with content.jsp, works fine.
Then I tried to create a servlet, compiled it, got the class file.
I put that class file name in the content URL. To my supprise, the
front end shows the binary code that class, instead of call it and
return what it suppose to return.
Any suggestion are highly welcome.
Thanks in advance

Jack,
The portal framework works based on server-side includes. When you specify the
contentURL on the EBCC, this means that the content of that JSP will be embeded
on the main source servlet. I think the result that you get was the normal behavior
that should happen. The interpreter found a "text" code and simply put it in out.println("the
binary text").
Did you get?

Jack,
In the ContentURL field in the EBCC input the servlet path. For example
I
had this in my web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>examples.sampleportal.HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/helloworld/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
In the ContentURL field I put /helloworld.
Hope this helps.
