Jaman,
You can indeed use jar files with servlets. It depends on the servlet
engine, but putting things into jar files may be faster because the
servlet engine doesn't have to check the class files each time to see if
they need to be dynamically reloaded. I would think that this completely
depends on the servlet engine (how it implements dynamic reloading) and
I'm not sure how each one of them does it. Putting things into jar files
can also make servlets easier to manage.
If you do decide to use a jar file, you just need to put it in
a directory that is in the classpath of the servlet engine. I would check
documentation for whatever platform you're using.
Good luck!
