Hi, I am trying to get the orion sample news web app running. I have configured the datasource using the Hypersonic SQL datasource example provided in the \orion\demo\news-app\setup.txt, and put the hsql classes in a hSQL.zip in the \orion\lib\ dir. But on startup, Orion reports hSql.hDriver - class not found. Hmmmm - so I unzipped the hSql.zip into a \class dir and added the \class to the commandline using java -jar orion.jar -cp \class - still class not found. I then specified the zip in the server.xml with a <library>..\class</library> entry - but still class not found. Looking through the mail archives I noted that people had success putting classes into the .\beans dir, but this didnt work. Now I am stumped. I think we need [I need] a howto with classpaths etc so we can understand the classloading . IE, where to put * servlets shared by all sites * beans / ejb / classes /zips / jars shared by all sites [are beans/ejbs/classes different somehow ?] * servlets used by a specific site [this I know] * classes used by a specific site servlet [this I discovered] All help appreciated, Kind Regards Neville Burnell Business Manager Software PS: JDK1.3 + Orion 0.8.1 + hSql 991227
