Re: Using html namespace in a servlet

[Per Bothner <per at bothner dot com>]

I received this message:

I don't know how you "deployed" your servlet - you should normaly
show the command-line or compilation options you used, as well ins how
you stalled something

However, I'm guessing the problem is almost certainly confusion between
the explicit class a.Foo vs the "module class" generated from the entire source file.
The following has more detail than you need, but it explains the idea of module classes:

http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Module-classes.html

It is possible to have a module class and an explicit class (defined by define-simple-class)
be the same class, as described in the above link.

Alternatively, follow the guide in:
http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Server-side-scripts.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Self-configuring-page-scripts.html
