Problem adding servlet to Content Center Web App

Not sure if this should be posted in the developer suite forum, but I am working on adding a simple servlet to the content center web app. However, I am getting an error when I run make_toolkit.ipl that is very strange. If I attempt to use log4j within any servlet, I get the following message:

import org.apache.log4j.*;

org.apache.log4j does not exist

If i import the same path into a JSP page, it compiles and logs appropriately.

I attempted to use it in one of the servlets in the customer_samples toolkit and had the same problem.

Is there something screwy with the class paths in the make_tooklit.ipl or build.xml file that is not giving proper access to the class path? Has anyone else run into this.

I just had the same problem and addressed it by adding a reference to the log4j.jar in the reference build.xml.

That is, I made the following addition in C:\iw-home\local\config\lib\content_center\reference\build.xml

<target name="compile" depends="init"
description="Create the toolkit's .jar from source files">
<mkdir dir="${output}/src" />
<javac srcdir="${sourceDir}"
destdir="${output}/src"
excludes="**/*.properties"
deprecation="on" >
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${iw-home}/servletd/common/lib/jsp-api.jar"/>
<pathelement path="${iw-home}/servletd/common/lib/servlet-api.jar" />
<pathelement path="${iw-home}/cssdk/cssdkiface.jar" />
<pathelement path="${iw-home}/httpd/webapps/content_center/WEB-INF/lib/log4j.jar" />
<fileset dir="lib" />
<pathelement path="${output}/src"/>
</classpath>
</javac>


I'd appreciate any comments on whether that was the right way to go.
