Cannot create bean of class riddles.Riddler

[MacCormac Rinehart <ma...@banfieldpethospital.com>]

I know someone posted a message with a problem similar to this about a month
ago, but was unable to find the solution.  I have deployed my riddles
package in the WEB-INF/classes directory for this program.  There is an
empty constructor in the bean.  I have already ruled out a ClassNotFound
exception.  At this point I think I am down to a configuration issue.  I am
using Tomcat 3.2.1.  If someone knows the resolution to this issue, please
let me know.  Thanks,

Mac

PS for further information see below:


This is the useBean tag copied directly from my JSP:

<jsp:useBean id="riddler" class="riddles.Riddler" scope="request"/>

Below is the code in my web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">

<web-app>
</web-app>


Below is the context entry from my server.xml file:

		<Context path="/riddler" 
				docBase="webapps/riddler"
				defaultSessionTimeOut="30"
				crossContext="false"
				debug="0" 
				reloadable="true">
		</Context>

This is the try-catch block from the generated servlet code where the error
message is generated:

try {
    riddler = (riddles.Riddler)
Beans.instantiate(this.getClass().getClassLoader(), "riddles.Riddler");
} catch (Exception exc) {
    throw new ServletException (" Cannot create bean of class
"+"riddles.Riddler");
}
