Problem running servlets on Apache/Tomcat
Hi This query has been posted on this list quite a no. of times and even after going through the archives I'm still stuck up with this problem! To start with the configuration... I'm working Windows 2000 professional with Tomcat 3.2.2 and Apache 1.3.20. The backend is Oracle 8.1.6. I have an application called 'portfolio' for which I created a folder in C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps called portfolio with a hierarchy of other directories required, like C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio\WEB-INF where I copied the web.xml and C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio\WEB-INF\classes where I put all the servlet classes. I have put all the other files like htmls, images etc. in the C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio directory! and not to forget the C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio\lib dir. for all the jar files and Orcale driver... I have made changes to my servlet.xml file also to let tomcat recognize my application! Putting in the 'context-path' stuff and have edited the web.xml file to map the servlets Now I can execute my servlets but cannot run them... coz when I try exceuting them I get an error 'ClassDefNotFound: ConnectionPool/ConnectionPool' Now CoonnectionPool is actually a package(as the name impies) that i created to make a connection to the database. Its also in the classes dir. When I execute the servlets I dont get any errors as to unable to find ConnectionPool, so I presume that they are in the Path. Now I'm really stuck up and am unable to find the real problem! May be someone out there whos done something similar can help me solve this Thanks a lot in advance Priyanka __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Problem running servlets on Apache/Tomcat
If you use packages as jar files you should place them ether in WEB-INF/classes/lib (for a particular webapp) or $TOMCAT_HOME/lib. The latter will assure that all your webapps will have access to the classes in the jar. hth * * Boris NiyazovPh: 212-854-4094 Fax: 212-854-1749 * * Systems Manager Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Columbia Law School URL: http://www.law.columbia.edu * * Hi This query has been posted on this list quite a no. of times and even after going through the archives I'm still stuck up with this problem!
