I fooled around with the setclasspath.sh to include my default classpath. Tomcat however doesn't like that too bad it would have been convenient.
I copied the examples context exactly to newcontext/ I put my jsppages in newcontext/ I put all my java beans for this context in newcontext/WEB-INF/classes they aren't in a package so I put them directly in there and compiled When I run tomcat it still can't find them. So i tried putting them into common/classes, same problem. Funny thing is when I put a jar file in common/lib that contains some other random classes I seem to be able to access those fine. I believe I have carefully read all the docs and they indicate that I am doing this correctly so why doesn't it work? ryan On Thu, 7 Nov 2002, Turner, John wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:developer@;wexwarez.com] > > Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 2:24 PM > > To: Tomcat Users List > > Subject: Class Path and New Context > > > > > > With some hassles I got tomcat 4.1.12 with apache 1.3x, java 1.4 on a > > linux > > 2.4 kernel box.
