Hi Matt,
Congratulations on getting this far. Off the top of my head, I'm
not sure if "tomcat/classes" is supported. I'll try to review
what methods are available to add classes rather than jars to
Tomcat 3.3's classloader hierarchy. I suspect there is room for
improvement here.
In the meantime, the simplest way to add your class to Tomcat 3.3
is to put it in a jar and put that jar in the "tomcat/lib/container"
directory. This will get your class into the correct classloader.
Cheers,
Larry
