thanks all for your reply. actually, I have this kind of directory hierarchy: myapp/build.properties myapp/build.xml myapp/web/*.jsp myapp/web/WEB-INF/web.xml myapp/web/WEB-INF/lib/requiredlibs.jar myapp/web/WEB-INF/classes myapp/src/../*.java
and after running ant install, I have this directory structure and I foudn every neccesary jars in the lib directory. build/*.jsp build/WEB-INF/web.xml build/WEB-INF/lib/requiredlibs.jar build/WEB-INF/classes/../myclasses.class According to your recommendation (also servet spec), my WEB-INF should be at the first level of the app deployment directory. It is really at the correct place, isn't it? Or do I have to specify any path to find WEB-INF/lib/*.jar? thanks for your help.
