FYI: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper can not access a member

[SS Tsay]

I am working on a web app with java servlets and was having a lot of
problems with this one servlet, where I kept getting 500 errors with
long Exception traces, with not much useful info, except for the top
line below root cause:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper can not access a member of
class MyMain with modifiers ""

The problem was that my servlet class was not declared to be public.

Thanks

Thank you very much. You really helped me. I verified everything, all classes, all jar files, but I missed the class attrribute.
