Thanks. I put the jars in WEB-INF\lib. In them are my servlets and classes they use. In the log I see that the WebClassLoader deploys all the jars to the correct place, but the ContextConfig can't find them. In web.xml I declared the servlets and their class (com.xxx.xxx.xxx) which can be found in the jar. I have to work this way due to historic reasons ....
Do you know what is wrong and what can be done ?

My apps make use of JARs and classes that are not located under <docBase>\WEB-INF\lib or classes. When using tomcat 3,I added these through the classpath. Here it seems that the JARs must be under WEB-INF. Is there any way to use JARs and classes not under WEB-INF ? You could. But things could get pretty messy when the application grows and you have a heck lot of classes. Keeping track of classes and their loading could be a pain. Tomcat 4.0.x takes care of this for you. * Unpacked classes that you need visible to *only* a particular webapp go under that webapps WEB-INF/classes folder. jar files go under <webapp>/WEB-INF/lib folder * Unpacked classes common to all webapps should be placed under %CATALINA_HOME%/classes and common jar files under the %CATALINA_HOME%/lib directory. And if you still wish to set the classpath then see catalina.sh (catalina.bat).
