I didn't understood your question fully as it is not clear. What I understood is that you have some classes which are generic and you want to use them across the Web Apps deployed in tomcat. If what I understood is right then put your this generic class structure under TOMCAT_HOME/classes folder or make a jar file and put under TOMCAT_HOME/lib. Restart Tomcat and it will work fine.

We've created a bunch of javabeans for one app which are all working fine. However we've decided that 4 of them should be made more generally available for other apps we're building. To that end I've created a package called com.ue.ueUtils and altered each of the beans such that the are now referencing that package. I've created the relevant folder structure ie TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\ourTest\WEB-INF\classes\com\ue\ueUtils , and placed the four beans in question in there, then attempted to recompile them. Three of them work fine but the fourth, which references 2 of the others in the package, fails saying the package does not exist. The other beans in the original packages (com.ue.fai & com.ue.servlets) can't see the ueUtils package either. I've tried jarring the package and putting that jar in the lib folder of the relevant app ie: TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\ourTest\WEB-INF\lib but this hasn't solved the problem either. The final resorts of reboots and restarts have failed to shift anything. Any advice will be gratefully recieved, Thanks Tref > -----Original Message----- > From: Karbiner, Jacob [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday,14 May 2002 12:58 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: JDBC connection failing to Oracle 8i with Tomcat3.3 > > Try renaming classes12.zip to classes12.jar this worked for me > > -----Original Message----- > From: Lloyd Wiggins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 10:44 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: JDBC connection failing to Oracle 8i with Tomcat3.3 > > > What we did for this problem was to write a wrapper script for the > startup.sh script.
