If you insist on using the package from Debian, you'll need to consult whatever Debian support mechanisms there are. > I expected tomcat to have servlet-api.jar > available in its classpath somehow A real Tomcat installation does not have this problem. > 1) Is it necessary to copy servlet-api.jar to the > WEB-INF/lib directory of every web application that > i have? Not only is it not necessary, it is not allowed. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
