Thanks... I did read the documentation - and there are .jar files in the specified directories - and none of them, except the tomcat.jar file, are listed in the classpath.
The Tomcat.jar file is located in 'application classloader'... everything above that (Common, apps, webapps, and server classloaders) are not being added to the classpath. Is there some setting that indicates whether or not to load those classes.. or is it supposed to do all the classloaders by default. Thanks, Eric Hansen -----Original Message----- From: Craig R.

When I startup Tomcat, in the text that writes to the screen, there is only one file listed in the classpath (bin/../lib/tomcat.jar) I am used to seeing a whole bunch of files - including my webapps application classes. > > Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Not reading the documentation. Both Tomcat 3.3 and 4.0 have implemented a different philosophy about how to deal with shared JAR files -- they must go in a particular directory, and the user's CLASSPATH variable is totally ignored at startup time (which is a very good thing -- CLASSPATH caused way too much grief for Tomcat 3.2 users). I don't know where the 3.3 docs are about this, but in 4.0 they are at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html > Thanks, > Eric Hansen > Craig -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
