Document contains no data

[Dave Fox <da...@smarttalk.com>]

System: NT4 sp6, Tomcat 3.1, Apache 1.3.12

I'm totally new to this whole thing so please forgive any idiocy on my part.

Has anyone gotten a "Document contains no data" back from a servlet?  The
developer who put this servlet together is running it under Java WebServer
2.0 without any problem.  However when I put it on my system it doesn't seem
to work.

I believe that I have everything configured correctly (web.xml, etc) because
if Tomcat tells me when I request something that it can't find (like if I
intentionally misspell the servlet name).

Note:  The servlet is buried in:
 /webapps/ops/WEB-INF/classes/tesla/cdi/ui/ops/servlet/MyServlet

Which I reference in my web.xml as:
 <servlet-class>tesla.cdi.ui.ops.servlet.MyServlet</servlet-class>

The log files don't yield ANY information when I make this request.

Oh, I've telnetted and did a manual GET and, as expected, got only the
server header information.

Thanks in advance.

Dave,

I think that I saw this behavior once (a really long time ago).  Here is
what I think caused the problem:

My servlet called a method on an object that included a class variable (a
static variable reference).  The class variable could not be initialized for
some reason.  This prevented the classloader from loading the class.

Thank you,
