bill, i have tried placing my source in common/classes, common/lib, shared/lib and shared/classes with no luck. depending on where i put my class, it was either in a Jar as part of a package, or just a stand-alone class.
i am really baffled here, it seems like one of those solutions should have worked. yet, i continue to get the NoClassDefFound error for the catalina class i am overriding (FormAuthenticator). i know i am a newbie to tomcat, so perhaps i am missing something simple. if anyone has had any luck overriding any of the catalina classes in their webapp and has had some success actually running it, please lend a hand! thanks!
