There are two places you can put your classes.
1. someapp/WEB-INF/classes/
put your class files (including their package structure) directly under
this "classes" folder.
2. someapp/WEB-INF/lib/
if your classes are in a jar file, put the jar file directly under this
"lib" folder.
Hope this help

Subject: RE: CLASSPATH trouble
I understand how to set the environment variables (which you don't need
to reboot to instantiate, btw). I was referring to checking them, which
can be done at the command line with "echo %YOURVARIABLE%". This will
return it's current value. The trouble is that unless I set the CLASSPATH
statically Tomcat doesn't seem to set it up dynamically as it should with
the tomcat.bat file (which I verified using the above command). My
JAVA_HOME variable is set to where it should be. Are you saying that
CLASSPATH should staticly point to the JDK's tools.jar? I'm a little
confused. I'm thinking that perhaps I was unclear before. Could someone
give me a short synopsis of the purpose of the CLASSPATH variable, what
it should be set to and where I put my class files that are called by
my JSP documents?
Thanks,
Dustin

First off the command via dos is -- set -- to see the classpath. You set
environment variables in the system icon via the control panel folder. Click
on the environment tab and enter under user variables for Administrator in
the variable textbox at the bottom CLASSPATH then in the value
textbox type C:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar this is a permanent set
command it is accepted as such by NT. You also need JAVA_HOME and if you
want ANT_HOME. Look in the docs for these paths or email me directly. Oh and
by the way yes tomcat needs to know JAVAHOME and also use the startup.bat
and shutdown.bat to start and stop tomcat. I would edit this files back to
there original state and also for environment rules to take place you must
reboot.
