My helper classes work and this is how I have it configured: i put my helper classes in the same directory as my servlets.
my system's CLASSPATH is .;c:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib\; using the leading period in the classpath makes the current directory the first place the compiler searches, and to me that's the simplest way to do it; put them all in the same directory. I use a batch file to compile everything at once; javac c:\jakarta\webapps\appname\web-inf\classes\*.java (i run it twice to ensure all dependencies are up to date) Scott -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

Servlet is placed as : e:\tomcat401\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\Classes\ShowPendQueries.class Helper Class which is instantiated in above servlet is placed at : e:\tomcat401\common\classes\CustomerQueries.class when the servlet is executed in browser, I get Exception as EXCEPTION javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot allocate servlet instance for path /examples/servlet/ShowPendQueries ROOT CAUSE java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: common/classes/CustomerQueries I tried out placing the hepler class in the same class as that of servlet and even worse, servlet did not compile due to path error then I went through the docs of TOMCAT to find that the classes referred in Servlets can be placed in common->classes directory and i tried the same in vain Thanks in advance for valuable suggestions Rgds Muthukumaran ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
