I had the same problem and converting the .zip to a .jar worked. I reviewed the documentation and I could not find any mention of zip files. Does the absence of info on zip files imply they are not supported?
I think the Tomcat 3.3 and 4.0 documentation should be updated to explicitly state that zip files and not supported by the servlet spec and therefore must be converted to jar files and stored in the /lib directory. > From: "Craig R.
