It should work if you rename the file from blah.zip to blah.jar

That didn't help. Tomcat still can't find the driver. I have tried to put
the zip-files in the TOMCAT_HOME/lib to but that didn't work either. Aren't
there anywhere in the config-files where I can add the zip-library to the
classpath?

Thanks in advance

Hmm.. I read the Servlet 2.2 spec today and missed that. Must get more coffee :-)

RE: Config: zip-files (dev pls look!)

2001-06-14 Thread Randy Layman


Section 9.4 of the Servlet 2.2 spec (page 44) states that
WEB-INF/lib/*.jar is the location for Java Archives and does not mention any
other resources.  Since .zip is not mentioned, if you used them in the lib
folder then you could have a non-compliant webapp, which would make Tomcat a
non-compliant web server, which would violate the whole purpose of a
"Reference" implementation.

Re: Config: zip-files (dev pls look!)

Renaming the zip to jar did the trick for me. 

If any developer are looking perphaps they can explain why tomcat doesn't support 
.zip-files (of academic interest).

RE: Config: zip-files

2001-06-14 Thread Kershaw, David

On my windows NT installation I had to resort to hardcoding the zip file
into the classpath. This was the only way it worked. There is probably a
correct way to do it. For example:

Location
C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\lib\classes12.zip

and 

CLASSPATH = ...;C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\lib\classes12.zip

Probably just change the name to .jar and put it in either $TOMCAT_HOME/lib
or WEB-INF/lib for the particular application that uses it.
