503 Error Servlet is currently unavailable
I am developing a GWT application for Tomcat 4.0.5. I'm getting a 503 error:
-----------------
Apache Tomcat/4.0.5 - HTTP Status 503 - Servlet
com.sms.web.server.CompanyListImpl is currently unavailable
type Status report
message Servlet com.sms.web.server.CompanyListImpl is currently unavailable
description The requested service (Servlet com.sms.web.server.CompanyListImpl
is currently unavailable) is not currently available.
----------------
I can't find any more information in the logs - the entries for this error
include the exact same text as above. The servlet itself does exist in a .jar
file under WEB-INF/lib. It is under the correct package name as well. The only
information I have been able to find so far is that there should be more
information in one of the logs, but I can't find any additional information in
any of the logs I've found. What to do now?
Thanks

Nope, I've still got a 3.3.2 install sitting around. None of that
new-fangled technology for me :).
But if you are *starting* a project, then you should probably use a 5.5 TC
and at least think about using TC 6.0.

Ouch! If you really are "developing" -- i.e. starting from scratch --
then you should really use a more up-to-date Tomcat. Even /I'm/ not
using a Tomcat that old, and I think I'm the user of the oldest TC
install on the list (4.1.31).

Your webapp probably did not start.

Yup, more info should have appeared in one or more log files. Are you on
MS Windows or UNIX? Take a look in your TOMCAT_HOME/logs directory and
basically look at everything. If an app fails to start up, you usually
get a message in appname_log_[date].txt, localhost_log_[date].txt, or
catalina.out, which should be found in that directory.
If you don't see those files, or if you don't see anything in them, it's
possible that logging has been disabled somehow. Try adding 'debug="99"'
to your <Engine>, <Host>, and <Context> elements in your server.xml file.
Then, start TC again and see what it dumps out.
