apache error

Java Tomcat error: can not access a member of class with modifiers

Class org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager can not access a member of class with modifiers “” sun.reflect.Reflection.ensureMemberAccess(Reflection.java:102)

If you are on tomcat/or anyother webserver for J2EE and getting this error, then the most probable servlet you have would look like this


package package;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

class MyServletClass extends HttpServlet {
...
...
...
}

The fix:

You have missed the class modifier public

public class MyServletClass

Should solve the problem
