If you use packages as jar files you should place them ether in
WEB-INF/classes/lib (for a particular webapp) or $TOMCAT_HOME/lib. The latter
will assure that all your webapps will have access to the classes in the jar.

>Hi
> This query has been posted on this list quite a no.
>of times and even after going through the archives I'm
>still stuck up with this problem!
> To start with the configuration... I'm working
>Windows 2000 professional with Tomcat 3.2.2 and Apache
>1.3.20. The backend is Oracle 8.1.6.
> I have an application called 'portfolio' for which I
>created a folder in C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps called
>portfolio with a hierarchy of other directories
>required, like
>C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio\WEB-INF where I
>copied the web.xml and
>C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio\WEB-INF\classes where
>I put all the servlet classes. I have put all the
>other files like htmls, images etc. in the
>C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio directory! and not to
>forget the C:\TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\portfolio\lib dir.
>for all the jar files and Orcale driver...
> I have made changes to my servlet.xml file also to
>let tomcat recognize my application! Putting in the
>'context-path' stuff and have edited the web.xml file
>to map the servlets....
> Now I can execute my servlets but cannot run
>them... coz when I try exceuting them I get an error
>'ClassDefNotFound: ConnectionPool/ConnectionPool'
> Now CoonnectionPool is actually a package(as the
>name impies) that i created to make a connection to
>the database. Its also in the classes dir. When I
>execute the servlets I dont get any errors as to
>"unable to find ConnectionPool", so I presume that
>they are in the Path.
> Now I'm really stuck up and am unable to find the
>real problem! May be someone out there whos done
>something similar can help me solve this!!!!
