thanks .. Its working...when classes12.jar file placed to jakarta-tomcat-4.0\common\lib (WEB-INF/lib it might be ) only...It does not work when we place that file in \common\classes...that directory is for what.
And on more thing is this mentioned some where that TomCat4.0 ignore the complete CLASSPATH of system.....because some other .jar files required for my web application, set in classpath are also not able to import...???????? So is this mandatory to place all .jar files in tomcat/lib... which is required for the application.?? Or can we add classpath through scripts at Tomcat startup....
