If you set the classpath I have had to reboot - your better off if you do to
make sure your changes take effect - this is from my experience but maybe my
machine is a letter strange. The classpath is not for your class files and
yes you must set the classpath to point to tool.jar. If you know anything
about java and the api you import your class from the api or from packages
you create or both or you instantiate them with the new statement. Again the
class path is for tomcat not your class files - who cares what it does as
long as tomcat runs. If you look at the examples directory under webapps you
can easily find out where to put your bean classes or packages. The examples
directory is webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes - examples uses this directory
for class files it's JSP's use. Set your environment variables - get tomcat
to run and mimic the examples directory to see where what goes where. That
is why the examples are there. Also the docs would easily answer you
questions.
