Well, this is your problem. It may be possible to configure something like this, but I sure don't want to try it :). If you put braggonline under 'webapps' you will probably have better luck (or at least fewer headaches :). e.g. "mv braggonline ..". > when the JSP is invoked tomcat gives the error > message. > > The path to servlet.jar is defined in the CLASSPATH > variable. > > Any help would be appreciated. > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
