Yoav,

So use to doing imports that I didn't think (key words here) about Tomcat
making the servlets available from a jar. Was thinking that it would have to
be imported to be used. Learn something new each day.

Thanks

Wonder if the manifest or index of the jar is not correct? That could cause
problems.

Doug

Why do you doubt they'd work?  I'd give them a shot if I were you --
after all, that IS on of the main points of Java ;)

Displaying the runtime classpath of a webapp can be a bit tricky.  It's
NOT System.getProperty("java.class.path").  The classloader how-to
document that ships with tomcat descibres the classpath and loading
order.  You can configure the logging system to tell you what jars it's
deploying on startup.

Not just mappings, but also <servlet> elements.  But yes, of course, the
rest is correct.  What was your understanding??
