Andrew,
Yes theses are parts of a package. They are just common classes that I
wish to use across multiple apps. Im not sure what you mean by
"Did you build the package directory structure to match in the
%CATALINA$\common\classes?"
I did not change the packages at all, I copied them directly from my
system classpath (where they were being picked up by a previous Tomcat
install) *directly* into the $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes folder. ie :
%CATALINA$\common\classes contains first level folders such as com, org, javax etc.
My install did not even have a $CATALINA$\shared\classes folder.. however as you
suggested i created one, re-started and again it
did not work.
I have tried puttintg the reported missing class in my apps
/WEB-INF/classes folder already, this is not where my problem is, i need
the common classes to be picked up from one place as i dont want to
compromise and copy these common classes into several apps
/WEB-INF/classes directory.
Thanks :)
Mehdi

Are these classes apart of a package? Did you build the package
directory structure to match in the %CATALINA$\common\classes?
Have you tried the $CATALINA$\shared\classes folder? How about a
webapp's WEB-INF\classes folder? Testing these to see if you can get
any of them to work might help you solve your problem.

Subject: classpath problem
All,
I have installed Tomcat 4.0.2. All examples work fine, jsp's and
servlets.
when i removed my old version of Tomcat / apache, i obviously saved all
of
my existing apps. I have now pointed Tomcat to these by specifying new
Contexts in my server.xml. All is fine... nearly.
My problem is that my classpath is not being picked up. Reading the
docs,
i found that $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes is where i should put my non
application specific, common classes. I have done this but to no avail,
these classes which should be visible to my apps according to the
documentation are not found and a NoClassDefFound error results.
I have tried putting my "common" classes in the following directories :
$CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
$CATALINA_HOME/classes
They are not picked up. Needless to say i have restarted the service,
rebooted and hit my computer many times.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Mehdi
