Hello
Is 'cd' located in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory? I think it must be.
Assuming it is, then this is your context (web application folder) and this
is where the WEB-INF sub-directory should be located.
The cos.jar should then reside in cd/WEB-INF/lib.
You can 'bury' JSPs in sub-directories (eg cd/SMC) and still invoke them by
specifying the full path details, as you are doing at present.
BUT... the WEB-INF sub-directory *must* be located at the top level of the
context (web app) folder - and in this case 'cd' is your context (web app)
folder.
Locating the WEB-INF folder correctly means the 'lib' folder within it will
be in 'right' place for Tomcat's classloaders to find it.
BTW the same is true for Servlets, which reside in WEB-INF/classes.
