IMHO, it's a bad practice to rely on your system's CLASSPATH. Instead, if your classes and/or jar are specific to one web application, put it in /WEB-INF/classes and/or /WEB-INF/lib. If you have a jar that needs to be used across all web applications, use tomcat/lib.
For compiling your servlets and classes, use a build tool like Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) -- you can define your project's classpath within a buildfile. -jmc =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
