Can't find classes in pkgs outside WEB-INF/classes

[Mark]

I have a server-side class loading problem, but not able to figure out why. Using Cactus I can run tests and access servlets just fine if the classes are all located under WEB-INF/classes directory, but I get NoClassDefFoundError if I try to access classes in a different package. This is a working application so I'm obviously not understanding something from the Cactus/classloader side of things. I've read the ClassPath HowTo and it only describes a WEB-INF/classes structure. Given this directory structure:

/WEB-INF
|
/classes
|
Servlet1.class
TestClass1.class
/pkg1
|
AppClass1.class

I can run a test case where TestClass1 instantiates Servlet1, but if Servlet1 tries to instantiate pkg1.AppClass1, it's not found. This seems like it should be something very simple but I'm at a loss.

Any help will be appreciated, and sorry for yet a newbie question that's CLASSPATH related.
