RE: How do I install a jar file and reference it with a jsp page? (Next problem)

[micael]

Read up about how CLASSPATH works for .jar files as well as for normal directory structures, which are reflected in a jar file. If you cannot reach something in a normal directory (outside the .jar file) you sure cannot inside a .jar file. For example, in a "normal" directory structure, you would have to put "com.blah.blah....." at WEB-INF/classes/, because your CLASSPATH has WEB-INF/classes included. See what I mean?

Have you tried changeing the import to com.equifax.rcas.tools.*?

okay I put the jar file in /tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib (I had to
actually create the lib folder)

I used this in my jsp page.

<%@ page import="com.equifax.rcas.*"%>

getting an error of:

/web1/labwerks/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/_/dev/credit_check_jsp.java:
7: package com.equifax.rcas does not exist
import com.equifax.rcas.*;
^

Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

Does it matter what the folder directory is in the jar file? When I
unzipped the directory, the java files were in here.

\data\esecure\rcas2.3.0-0018\com\equifax\rcas\tools

Having trouble using this jar file which has code for an Equifax interface
(credit check). I've been given a jar file with sample code. Where do I
put in the tomcat directory and how do I reference it in a jsp page? Do I
need to do anything on the server to configure?

The package is called package com.equifax.rcas.tools;

I am using Apache Tomcat/4.1.12
