Have you tried putting it within your WEB-INF/lib directory?

I sent this message to the tomcat users list also because I wasn't sure
where the actual problem lies--with tomcat or with the digester.
Anyway, here's the problem:
I want to use the Jakarta commons digester xmlrules package to parse the
xml I get from a web service I access from within a service. This means
I have to include four commons jar files within the classpath tomcat
uses commons-digester, commons-logging, commons-beanutils and
commons-collections. I tried putting the jar files in my CLASSPATH
variable, but Tomcat builds its own classpath, so when the servlet
executed I got a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. Tomcat (or the
servlet) couldn't find
org/apache/commons/digester/xmlrules/DigesterLoader.
I am using Tomcat version 4.1.24. There is a version of the
commons-digester jar file that comes with that tomcat in server/lib. So
I put the commons-digester.jar file in server/lib in the commons/lib
directory so that Tomcat would include the jar file in its classpath.
However, when I did that, Tomcat wouldn't even start--the error message
then was ClassNotFoundException. The relevant part of the stack trace
is included here below.
What gives? It looks like the version of commons-digester.jar that
comes with tomcat 4.1.24 isn't even compatible with it, but that can't
be right? I suppose the bigger question, though, is how can I get
Jakarta digester and tomcat 4 to play nice with each other? And how can
I find out what version of *any* jar file I have when all I have is the
name of the jar file?
