I would recommend going to: <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html>
and downloading the servlet specifications. Version 2.2 is the one that applies to Tomcat 3.3.x. See section 9.4 for info about the web application directory structure. You can also go to: <http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html> to download the JSP specifications. Version 1.1 is the one that applies to Tomcat 3.3.x. Classes in WEB-INF/classes would be available only to that web application. This limits the exposure much better than the CLASSPATH whose classes are exposed to all web application and server classes. Cheers, Larry > -----Original Message----- > From: Joshua D.
