Servlet jar not loaded problem

[rsrinivasan]

Hi all,
I am using Apache-topcat as my web server. And i am using Eclipse IDE. When i run the tomcat from Eclipse IDE, i have the following message in my console.

WebappClassLoader: validateJarFile(D:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27\webapps\pricing\WEB-INF\lib\servlet.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class

What is this? where i am going wrong?

servlet.jar comes with Tomcat. You should not have to put it in your web-inf folders.
It's probably in [TOMCAT]/common/lib

Ok fine. When i remove servlet.jar file from web-inf, it does not through that error. But when i remove the servlet.jar file from Eclipse build path, it throws like this

The type javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Why are you removing it from Eclipse's build path?

When i deploy my web application, it automaticaly put the file in the web-inf folder. How can i avoid it?
