Setting your classpath:
If you run Tomcat from a DOS console window, before running Tomcat type:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;YourServletDirectoy
where 'YourServletDirectoy' the full path of the directory were you put your
servlets.
In that way add YourServletDirectoy to the existing CLASSPATH ( if not
existed, this statement will create it).
If you run Tomcat through Windows explorer, you should add the line above to
tomcat.bat file at %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin
directory. You can add it as the first line in this file.
Actually, you can add this line also if you run Tomcat from the DOS console
window.
