FileNotFoundException for servlet context

[CraigFoote]

Hi all, can I get some help troubleshooting this exception please? I'm following along with the example at https://src.springframework.org/svn/...vc-basic/trunk, which works when I check it out, and have applied it somewhat simplified to my own project. My web.xml maps my footeware servlet to WEB-INF/footeware-servlet.xml which I can see but the application seemingly can't.

Sorry for the long post but I don't know what else to do with it

HTTP Status 500 -

Any ideas on why it can't be found or how to debug this?

Problem solved. I had copied his pom entries including maven-compiler-plugin set 1.5.:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.compiler.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
<showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
</configuration>
</plugin>

I set them to 1.7 and now it works.

Nope, that didn't fix it; the error is back. Seems to be connected to the Mongrel plugin I'm using to interface with my local Tomcat 7 server. Anyone know of a better way to run an eclipse dynamic web project on a server while in development?
