Problem getting SampleServelet2 to work...

[Edward Muller <ed...@akira.learningpatterns.com>]

I've gotten SampleServlet to work, but I am trying to SampleServlet2 to
work. I followed the directions in the README.txt file to setup the
ClasspathResourceLoader version, but this is what I get them I go to the
servlet..

And here is what I get in the web browser:

I'm still new to TomCat/Velocity/Servlets so there may be something I've
done wrong. I've checked the settings files, but they all look okay.

Can anyone help me?
