Many thanks for your reply. I feel like a schmuck. Sure enough I was able to hunt down JMX on Sun's web site. For whatever reason I no longer had (if I ever had) the jmxri.jar file. Now I do. I was messing with it for so long I could no longer see the obvious, that the package name was "com.sun". Oddly enough, a search for "JMX" from Sun's main page yields no results. But if you pick through all the API's eventually you find it. Anyway, sorry for wasting your time with a silly question. I knew it was a CLASSPATH issue but for the life of me couldn't figure out how I could have lost that jar file. Thanks again, syg

In fact, JMX is a Sun technology, a framework that applications can use (hence the com.sun package name. Tomcat just uses jmx. Regarding your problem, you most propably shot your classpath when you uninstalled tomcat. Check your classpath settings (set in catalina.bat IIRC) and make sure it includes all jars tomcat needs. Also make sure that the package containing named class is where you think it is.
