Use Ant to build everything - and tell it where you want your compiled classes to end up. -Original Message- From: Erik Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 10:07 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Classes not being found in app's WEB-INF directory.

The only problem is that I use NetBeans, which requires that the source code be stored in the proper package directory structures. But, now that I think of it, I can use Ant to rearrange the source files to the appropriate directory structure upon checkout, so that I can work with them. In other words, a target that builds the package directory structure and copies the files to their appropriate places. Can Ant read the package declarations of the source files to determine where they should be placed, or will I have to hard code the paths into the Copy tasks?

I agree -- it just doesn't seem right to have a flattened hierarchy in CVS. But I thought that in CVS you can't change the directory structure. You can add new files and dirs, but you can't remove old dirs and move files from old dirs.

Check out the docs: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_7.html Tim: Hey thanks! It wasn't really as bad as I thought. I suppose it's easier since I'm the only developer on this project, but I just mv'd the files, removed them from cvs, and added the new ones (the new locations, that is). The only drawback is that the versioning on these files starts over, but that doesn't really matter in my case. After adding the package declarations to the source files, then deploying and testing, I'm now properly packaged up. I'm glad you sent me that link, the docs motivated me to just do it and now I've nipped it in the bud so I won't have to deal with it when I have far more files, down the road. Thanks again.

Re: Classes not being found in app's WEB-INF directory.
I had a bunch of problems with that until I packaged the classes and then it had no problem finding the class files. Give that a try. Hope it helps Lott, Carey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hi, I am running tomcat4.0.4 as a standalone on Solaris 7. Simple servlets that don't need any custom built classes run fine within the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/esd/WEB-INF/classes directory. However, servlets that are dependent on other custom classes will not run when all of the needed classes are found within the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/esd/WEB-INF/classes directory, but they do run when the dependent classes are found within the $CATALINA_HOME/classes directory. I don't understand. I thought by default it always looks in the WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib directories before looking anywhere else for needed classes. The fact that it does run is great, but since we have to have the classes in $CATALINA_HOME/classes the automatic reload function doesn't work. And for some reason stopping and starting tomcat doesn't reload the classes in $CATALINA_HOME/classes either. Does anybody have any ideas what I am missing? I know it has to be something in the configuration, but I don't know what. Thanks in advance for the help!!! - Carey - -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail: - Do you Yahoo!?
