Apparently it cannot seem to find the class "
org/apache/xerces/dom/DOMExceptionImpl" which is being referenced from
"com.fis.Controller.Controller" class.
See if you have xerces.jar under $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.
Also this maybe a typo on your part when composing your email but
nevertheless,
I've put a class struecture into Tomcat4_home/webapps/jds/WEB-INFO/classes
the structure is:
--classes (file: Find.class)
--com
--fis
--controller (Controller.class, Composer.class)
in Find.java:
import com.fis.Controller.*;
...
protected Controller controller =null;
...
