The Configuration of Tomcat 5 can be done as follows. If you have the jars which need specific arrangement. 1 You have to compile application with servlet standards Tomcat 5 are using. 2 Change catalina.properties file Add your path there. 3 Change catalina.xml if its important to you the order in which r=the jars are read. 4 You have to add the -Djava.class.path option in the service properties. 5 Give startin path for the Tomcat shortcut as the pathyour application jars are stored.
The bst thing if possible is not to have hard coded paths in application, but this is the thing if its something out of your control.

As that made me think why its not loading servlet.jar? I had recompiled all jsps with latest servlet specifications but I recompiled them again with Tomcat jars ahead in path. Then I set classpaths correctly. Now application works extremely well if I do catalina start. Still I am setting classpaths manually. Now the next and Final problem I am facing, how to start Tomcat as service. This is because when Tomcat starts as service, it does not seem to remember the classpath already set. can I send classpath as parameter to tomcat.exe?

I'm sorry; I was looking at ServletContext, not ServletConfig. Anyhow, I don't think you should be explicitly setting any classpaths for anything. You should just dump all your JAR files into WEB-INF/lib and start Tomcat without any further configuration changes. Note that putting servlet.jar into WEB-INF/lib is a mistake. Tomcat will probably refuse to load thar JAR anyways, so you might be okay (I know it does on mine .. oops :) -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
