How to deploy a servlet on WebLogic 6.1

Question

          I have tried to deploy a servlet using WL6.1 following the instructions at this URL
          : http://edocs.beasys.com/wls/docs61/quickstart/quick_start.html
          but whenever I try to access the servlet from the web browser I get a HTTP 404 -
          Not Found message. The only step I omitted was step 2, as my servlet does not have
          package.
          Could anyone please advise ? Thanks.
          

Answer 1

          The inner classes are located in the same directory as the servlet itself, so isn't
          that part of the classpath by default. (i.e. java classes in the same package
          in the same folder find each other just fine).
