Hello all, After *explicitly* placing the <TOMCAT_HOME>/common/lib/servlet.jar on the Tomcat classpath the Filter class is found. However it is my understanding that Tomcat shouldn't require me to do this since all jars in that directory are loaded by Tomcat (aren't they?). This is an ugly workaround, but I thought it an interesting anomaly to pass on. -John

I've set up a few contexts, but they're empty right now (except for this TestFilter in the /ws context), so I suspect the install is pretty clean. I too was curious about whether or not the servlet.jar was the correct version, so I listed the jar's table of contents and saw that the javax.servlet.Filter was present (so I'm guessing this is the 2.3 jar - dated 09/23/2002). Thanks again for you input. -John -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 12:40 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/Filter Howdy, >Do you have any other thoughts? I have many thoughts ;) Most of which don't relate to your question unfortunately. Is there any possibility unpacked classes from the servlet.jar are scattered throughout your installation? Or that the servlet.jar file in your installation is NOT the version 2.3 jar? Doing a clean installation of tomcat in a different directory may help solve this.
