-- Craig, Thank you! I did in fact have all the necessary classes listed as part of my jserv.properties files but I had mistakedly put ecs.jar as wrapper.classpath=/usr/local/javaClasses/ecs-1.0/lib/ecs.jar instead of wrapper.classpath=/usr/local/javaClasses/ecs-1.0/ecs.jar Haunted by the old 'cut and paste'... now I do feel stupid. >OK, I see that your code refers to the ECS packages (org.apache.ecs and >org.apache.ecs.html) as well as the O'Reilly classes (com.oreilly.servlet). >Are these packages declared in a repository in your zone properties? It >appears not from the text below, unless they are unpacked in your "servlets" >subdirectory. > >Two things to remember: > >* The "class not found" error can be either the servlet itself > that is not found, or a class it is trying to load being not found. > >* The system class path is used by servletrunner, but is totally > ignored by Apache JServ. Everything you refer to in servlets > needs to be declared in a zone properties "repositories" line or a > "wrapper.classpath" line in jserv.properties. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] READ THE FAQ!!!! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html/> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
