Failed to Load Servlet
I am tring to run a server in WSAD 5.0.1, but when I start the server it errors and doesn't allow the servlet to load. Here is the error message:
[7/28/05 7:20:55:619 EDT] 5cd5c78b WebGroupE SRVE0020E: [Servlet Error]-[log4webservlet]: Failed to load servlet: java.lang.ClassCastException: biz.anand.Log4WebServlet

What could be causing the servlet not to load? Also what is the ClassCastException? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
