I don't know anything about JWS in particular, but are you building your
JAR file correctly? Inside the JAR, you have to reflect the same directory
structure (matching the package structure) that would be there if the classes
were not packed into a JAR file.
For example, let's say your unpacked class hierarchy looks like this (using
Unix style paths, but the principles are the same for Windows):
/home/reg/ (Your home directory)
com/
yell-it-out/
servlets/
MyServlet.class
If you were using this structure unpacked, you'd have your home directory
("/home/reg") on your class path. To correctly build a JAR containing only
this servlet, you need to do this:
cd /home/reg
jar cvf MyJar.jar com/yell-it-out/servlets/MyServlet.class
This way, the package structure is still reflected inside the JAR file, and
your class can be found.
