I have some helper functions that i put into a class, the class compiles fine and so do the classes that use it. But when the jsp beans try to use the helper functions I get a NoClassDefError finding the helper class. I am trying to fix this by adding the path to web.xml file in the web-inf directory. but it doesn't seem to work. Let me draw out how I have it. the package is com.papa.tools.MyTools; i have a directory c:\web\orion\javatools\classes\com\papa\tools. the web.xml file is located in c:\web\orion\demo\msgboard\webfolder\web-inf so in that file i added <classpath>../../../../javatools/classes</classpath> (go up 4 levels then over) why doesn't this work? and what can i do to fix it. Thanks..
