Hey guys, figured it out! the class path that I was looking for and never found, or couldn't find .. was due to the way the JWS started up. The JWS starts up and uses the current working directory as the initial starting point for the class path. >From here is passes all the possible locations for class files to the JRE and JSERV. (I found this out by doing a verbose. =) One other thing that I noted was that the directory Classes didn't exist after the JWS 1.1.3 was installed. However, the Class Path that was being passed to the JSERV included it. I created this directory and placed my HTML.class file into it. I also created a package of this class .. package com.reliable and placed it just about everywhere the classpath was pointing to (I still have yet to figure out which one it really needs though)= Upon doing this I also added another class path when starting up the JSW to point to "c:\winnt\java\classes" Amongst all this it finally found the HTML.class I created, and fired it off! Sorry for all the frustration I caused, but had this been more clearly documented ... hint hint .. SUN! I wouldn't have had to work 2 days to figure this out! And, will someone please write a book on writing and deploying JSP applications using Java Classes and JDBC. Michael J.

Again, the questions being where do I place the HTML.class so that the JSP file can find and use it. I'm using JWS 1.1.3 under NT 4.0. I've loaded Java 1.1.8, MS JVM 3.2 build 3186. You might also wish to insure that I've got the syntax correct for the JSP file, shown below. The ClassPath is set to "C:\winnt\java\classes", and I've placed the HTML.class file In "c:\winnt\java\classes\reliable" However, I get the following error? Error getting compiled page D:\java\JWS1.1.3\bin\..\pagecompile\_tests\_helloworld2_xjsp.java:12: Package reliable not found in import. import reliable.*; ^ 1 error Michael J.
