Problems in TOMCAT

Kevin-

When you deploy Tomcat 5.5 you should have jsp-examples webapp in your webapps folder e.g.
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/classes/compressionFilters

01/19/2005  04:40 PM             4,025 CompressionFilter.class
01/19/2005  04:40 PM             7,412 CompressionFilter.java
01/19/2005  04:40 PM             1,665 CompressionFilterTestServlet.class
01/19/2005  04:40 PM             1,787 CompressionFilterTestServlet.java

Some snooping about in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/web.xml you should see this specification

    <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>Compression Filter</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/CompressionTest</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>


so the resulting url would be displayed at
http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/CompressionTest

which *should* display the text
gzip, deflate
gzip supported -- able to compress
Compression Filter Test Servletcomprenez?Martin--*********************************************************************

  I am seeing this in the log that tracks the start of Tomcat: 

  SEVERE: End event threw exception                                   
  java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException                         
  .at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor20.invoke(Unknown Source)     
  ...a host of java trace messages ... 
  .at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:432)           
  Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Servlet mapping specifies an  servlet name CompressionFilterTestServlet 

  I can't find a CompressionFilterTestServlet.class, and besides, if it were missing, I would have expected a classnotfound exception, not this.  Can anybody tell me what this complaining about?
