Hi , I have been posting this problem for a while now - sorry. Albeit i was on a role until i modified my Action Class. Thus or hell broke loose. I had got to the stage whereby i had exstablished a connection to PostgreSQL v6( though posted a bug on PostgreSQL v7.1- same code don't work) and created a jsp submit form, an jsp extraction database form & jsp select page . Nevertheless i have come to a ground halt due to my inquisitiveness . I have transfered my original classes files but on commencing again , hit the same hurdle. my path is C:\jarkarta-tomcat-3.2.2\webapps\bbnpa\WEB-INF\classes(package name)\.java file Thus do i have to implement a base dir above /WEB-INF/ -- example below -- /bbnpa/helloworld/WEB-INF/classes/helloworld/HelloWorldResources.prperties /bbnpa/helloworld/WEB-INF/classes/(package name)/.java file or As my path above without the base dir (helloworld) Note all my other jsp work with my current path set-up except i won't to utilise form beans instead of html/javascript pages so need to get this class issue sorted for the next level. Sorry 4 this long winded Q. Pls Help Cheers Chuck 8^{ -- The views expressed by the sender of this message don't necessarily represent those of Brecon Beacons National Park Authority.
