just put them in the /WEB-INF/lib directory.
your webapp has to have a WEB-INF directory, and under WEB-INF you have two directories /classes -- used for .class files /lib -- used for .jar files -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Ousley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 10:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: placement of 3rd party class files Hello! Forgive my ignorance as I try to grasp the concepts involved in using tomcat. I'm still learning. My web application uses several beans which use 3rd party classes bundled in .jar files. Where should I place these? After reading the class loader doc, I'm still not clear? They will only be used by this webapp. First of all, when I compile my beans, javac needs to know where these .jar files reside. Secondly, when my .jsp page runs that uses the beans that use these 3rd part classes, the .jar files need to be found. So, what is the proper place to store these .jar files & how do I set the classpath so they can be found? I aplogize for the many questions. thanks! -jeff __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
