Hi Yoav, I've attempted to answer you comments below...
> One of two things is happening: > 1.

I had to put the jdom.jar that exists in my application directory in my classpath to get javac to compile it. > 2. (More likely) while you have only one jdom.jar files, the JDOM > classes are present in other jars somewhere in your tomcat > installation or endorsed directories. Look through jars, e.g. > jar tvf thisjar.jar | grep "org.jdom" > to see if they contain these classes. > i did a search on windows for all files containing the text "jdom" and nothing came up beside the jdom.jar file itself, and the few jsps and class that are using it. as a side, I don't know if this helps or not, but i instantiated the same class that's not working as a bean using... <jsp:useBean id="form" class="PSQ.PSQ_Form" scope="session"/> ...then tried to run one of the methods that use the jdom class, and got the same error. > does any of this clear things up? I'm still a little lost here. thanks for your help thus far. -jacques :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
