I may be wrong here but I think if you unjar them and use them as classes in the WEB-INF/classes directory you have to create a directory structure underneath classes like so: WEB-INF/classes/com/equifax/rcas/tools and put the class files in that directory. WEB-INF/classes is in the classpath so will start there. If classes have package statements at the top then the directory structure must mirror the package statement.

Do you have the source code to this library? It may be that the classes are not in a package. If a package hasn't been defined like this: package com.equifax.rcas.tools in every class file in that package, then there is no package. What happens if you extract the classes and put them in WEB-INF/classes? I'm pretty sure at that point that you could just call them without having to do a page import. Something like <% com.equifax.rcas.tools.SomeClass myObject = new com.equifax.rcas.tools.SomeClass(); myObject = "java code shouldn't be in a JSP"; %> John > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian O.
