What do you think is the meaning of this? java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: SAA.Servlet.Addrest 

Check your web.xml paths of servlet class.

Try jar tvvf <mywarfile>.war Also, I suspect, "Addrest" should be "Address"

It is not able to find SAA.Servlet.Addrest in your classpath
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: SAA.Servlet.Addrest


Make sure fully qualified class name is correct
Make sure class is in classpath with fully qualified package space


How do you Make sure fully qualified class name is correct?
