Thank you for your quick reply.
Again, "putting support classes for jsp in a package" is rather cryptic. The
test JSPs (jsp-examples) run just fine. Are you saying that for a JSP
application all the required classes/jars MUST be in the local webapp's
WEB-INF directory? The Classloader Howto seems to indicate that this is the
default search path for classes/jars:
* Bootstrap classes of your JVM
* System class loader classses (described above)
* /WEB-INF/classes of your web application
* /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar of your web application
* $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
* $CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed/*.jar
* $CATALINA_HOME/common/i18n/*.jar
* $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/*.jar
* $CATALINA_BASE/shared/classes
* $CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib/*.jar
The local classes needed by the webapp are in the local WEB-INF. Shared have
been placed in /shared/lib as documented on the Tomcat site. My thoughts as
of now are these:
1. Is there a .sh script that needs to be edited to set the appropriate
class path at a system level?
2. Is there an XML file or tag that needs to be created/edited for my JSPs
to compile correctly?
3. Most of my JSPs have an @import statement at the beginning, could the
path of that itself be a problem?

compiling JSPs
Hi,
One of the things you have to do is put support
classes for jsp in a package. I dont recall when those
requirements has changed.
