Mapscript on java/J2EE/Tomcat error

Fri Aug 3 23:06:26 PDT 2007

Hi,
   I am trying to develop sample web gis application using mapserver on 
java/j2ee/tomcat platform.
For this I followed following steps
1. Downloaded MapServer for Windows(ms4w_2.2.4) and installed it.
2. Added library paths('D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin' and 'D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-
bin\mapscript\java') to environment variable PATH
3. As I am using eclipse IDE so I included mapscript.jar to build path (located 
at D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\mapscript\java) to build path and added 
Djava.library.path="D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin;D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-
bin\mapscript\java" to VM arguments.

Now I created jsp page called mapdemo.jsp
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@page import="edu.umn.gis.mapscript.*"%>
<% 
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()
+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
%>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <base href="<%=basePath%>">

    <title>My JSP 'mapdemo.jsp' starting page</title>

  	mapObj map = new mapObj
("D:\\ms4w\\apps\\tutorial\\htdocs\\example_modes.map");

   %>
    This is my JSP page. <br>
  </body>
</html>

While run time it thows following error
