JPython servlet problem

Tue Mar 14 14:37:16 EST 2000

Hi,

I'm not able to get my jpython servlet to work, when
I try to run it I get an exception (as shown below)

At http://www.python.org/pipermail/jpython-interest/1998-May/000286.html
I found some wrapper-code, but it doesn't say how to use python-based
class-files directly as servlets, which is what I want.

Can anyone help me? Am I doing something stupid? :)

My system config is:
OS:             WinNT 4.0
Servlet-server: Tomcat/djakarta
Web-server:     Apache 1.3.9
Java:           JDK 1.3beta
Python:         JPython 1.1beta4

(To create the servlet class-file I use jpythonc) 

---- Exception error

Error: 500

---- Servlet code (PythonTestName.py)

import sys
sys.add_package("javax.servlet.http")

from javax.servlet.http import HttpServlet
from java import io

class PythonTestName(HttpServlet):
    def service(request, response):
        res.setContentType("text/html");
        out = res.getWriter();
        out.println("<html><body>");
        out.println("<h1>JServlet test!</h1>");
        out.println("</body></html>");
