Picking up these classes and jars for free is part of the Servlet 2.3 spec
(which has still not been officially released). Tomcat 4.0 supports this
spec, as does WebLogic 6.1. Many Servlet 2.2-compliant web servers (such as
Tomcat 3.2.1 and WebLogic 5.1) create Servlet 2.3-like directory structures
but do automatically pull WEB-INF/classes and the jars in WEB-INF/lib into
the classpath. I presume that iPlanet 6.0 fits into this category.

Subject: iPlanet OT: Why do I have to add jars in WEB-INF/lib to my
classpath?
Does anyone know why I have to add all the jars in my WEB-INF/lib directory
to my classpath, and also WEB-INF/classes? I thought you were supposed to
get these for free?
I'm on NT4, iPlanet Application Server 6.0 SP3.
My directory structure is:
APPS
- AppName
- WarName
-WEB-INF
- classes
-lib
- JarName
