Newbie - class loading issueHi, Maybe to obvious, but Tomcat is *not* a EJB server, just a servlet/jsp container. Let us know which classes it cannot find if you want to get more repsonse. Putting classes in the WEB-INF/classes are found, the examples prove that.

Thanks in advance Vinay -----Original Message----- From: Bill Halpin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 9:51 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Newbie - class loading issue Hello Folks! I was recently assigned a POC project that includes some web development which I am using Tomcat 4.0.1 to do. I've only been using Tomcat for about 1.5 weeks so I'm extremely wet behind the ears. I've consulted the documentation and searched the list archives looking for an answer to my problem but cant seem to find one. Right now, I am simply trying to use a bean to gather data from a form and return the data to the screen. When I run the jsp to do this, I get one of two different "class not found" errors. I am not deploying the app using a WAR file, right now I just have the jsp file in the root directory and the class files in WEB-INF/classes. The bean class is in the package login. So the full path for the class is WEB-INF/classes/login/UserBean.class. I've also tried the following: 1. Recompiled the class without the package and placed the class in WEB-INF/classes. 2. Created jar file with package. Placed the jar file in WEB-INF/lib. This also did not work, so I tried /lib and /common/lib which also didnt work. I tried all of these locations with and without the package designation. 3. I've added the individual class and the jar file to the classpath. I am sure I am making a simple mistake but cant seem to figure out what that mistake is. According to (my understanding of) the documentation, placing the class files in WEB-INF/classes should be all I need to make them accessible to the jsp, am I mistaken? The text from the errors was rather lengthy, so I have not included it, if necessary I would gladly forward it on. If anyone has a possible solution, or perhaps advice on other sources to peruse to solve the problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks -b Bill Halpin Schwoo, Inc 412-481-3301 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
