Have you read the Servlet spec? Classes are supposed to be under <appname>/WEB-INF/classes, or, when packaged in jars, <appname>/WEB-INF/lib. > I modified setupclasspath.sh to read WEB-INF/lib > and add all .jar files to the CLASSPATH before > starting tomcat. A fatal error. CLASSPATH should never, never be used with Tomcat. Along with the Servlet spec, you should also read about Tomcat's classloader hierarchy: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
