  • Web.xml is not able to resolve following url-pattern for the servlet :
    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>Example</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>aaa.bbb.ccc</servlet-class>
      </servlet>
      <servlet-mapping>
            <servlet-name>Example</servlet-name>
            <url-pattern>/abc*</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>
