In addition, jar files you have in /WEB-INF/lib are also automatically in the application's classpath.
What you might often see in a production environment running multiple applications on one server, is that common packages are made known to developers so that they do not need to include them in the builds. Instead, these common packages (log4j, jdbc drivers, etc) are placed in the $TOMCAT_HOME%/common/lib directory, which makes them available to all applications. One advantage (some might say disadvantage) is that you consolidate everyone to use the same versions of packages, besides the smaller .war files. In larger environments where version control is important, this can be quite usefull. On that note, what is the scope of jars put under the %TOMCAT_HOME%/server/lib directory? --- Lindgren Swanthe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, WEB-INF/classes is always part of the classpath > for that specific webapp. But like Arnaud said; did > you add the import statement to your jsp page? > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Zellhoefer > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: den 24 juni 2003 12:03 > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: easy question > > > I thought Tomcat is checking ~/WEB-INF/classes > automatically.
