I believe Tomcat ignores any system environment variable CLASSPATH. When Tomcat starts, it assumes the CLASSPATH for your Web app consists of:
(1) The rt.jar, of course, (2) All the JARs in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib, which are visible to all apps, (3) All the JARs in the TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib, which are visible only to Tomcat, (4) All the JARs in your WEB-INF/lib, which are visible only to your app, (5) All the .class files in your WEB-INF/classes, which are visible only to your app. That's it. If your Web app needs a JAR, put it in the WEB-INF/lib and you should be all set. - MOD --- Mike Curwen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Did you read the document Yoav mentioned? > > I'll give a tiny push... > > http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Xavier ANDRE > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 11:27 AM > > To: Tomcat Users List > > Subject: RE: NoClassDefFoundError > > > > > > If I put a jar file in classpath, how can I do > that ? > > > > In which directory do I put my jar file ? > > Must I modify a file ? > > > > Xavier André > > > > -----Message d'origine----- > > De : Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Envoyé : mercredi 14 janvier 2004 14:45 > > À : Tomcat Users List > > Objet : RE: NoClassDefFoundError > > > > > > Howdy, > > Read the classloader how-to in the tomcat > documentation. > > > > Yoav Shapira > > Millennium ChemInformatics > > > > > > >-----Original Message----- > > >From: Xavier ANDRE > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 8:45 AM > > >To: Tomcat Users List > > >Subject: RE: NoClassDefFoundError > > > > > >Thank you Yaov for your answer. > > > > > >I don't understand why I've got to put a jar > file, since the path to > > >acces to my classes is in the classpth of the JVM > which > > launchs Tomcat. > > > > > > > > >Could you help me on that point ? > > > > > > > > >Xavier André > > > > > >-----Message d'origine----- > > >De : Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Envoyé : mercredi 14 janvier 2004 14:40 > > >À : Tomcat Users List > > >Objet : RE: NoClassDefFoundError > > > > > > > > >Howdy, > > >We got your email, rest assured ;) I noticed a > couple of things: > > > > > >First, the stack trace is for a > ClassNotFoundException, > > which is very > > >different from a NoClassDefFoundError that you > mention in > > your message. > > >It's usually easier to fix: place the jar with > the missing > > class on the > > >classpath. > > > > > >Second, you're using tomcat 3.x, which at this > point in time > > means not > > >many people can help you.
