I had a bunch of problems with that until I packaged the classes and then it had no problem finding the class files. Give that a try. Hope it helps "Lott, Carey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hi, I am running tomcat4.0.4 as a standalone on Solaris 7. Simple servlets that don't need any custom built classes run fine within the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/esd/WEB-INF/classes directory. However, servlets that are dependent on other custom classes will not run when all of the needed classes are found within the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/esd/WEB-INF/classes directory, but they do run when the dependent classes are found within the $CATALINA_HOME/classes directory. I don't understand. I thought by default it always looks in the WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib directories before looking anywhere else for needed classes.
The fact that it does run is great, but since we have to have the classes in $CATALINA_HOME/classes the automatic reload function doesn't work. And for some reason stopping and starting tomcat doesn't reload the classes in $CATALINA_HOME/classes either. Does anybody have any ideas what I am missing? I know it has to be something in the configuration, but I don't know what.
