You may have to deploy an appname.xml file under the /conf/catalina/localhost directory. In the file put the following:
<Context docBase="appname" path="/opt/application/appname" /> Tomcat needs to find the jsp file unlike the servlet class file, which resides in a jar file in your appname/WEB-INF/lib directory. Tomcat will compile the jsp, if it hasn't already done so, and place the class file in the /tomcat/work/catalina/localhost/appname directory, from which it will get executed. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nathan Aaron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, January 27, 2005 1:33 pm Subject: Re: Oracle JDBC > The pain factor of moving the app would be too great at this point. > > What doesn't make sense is that I have a servlet that runs and > uses the > jdbc driver in shared/libs the servlet code is in > /opt/application/appname/WEB-INF/lib.
