For the sake of argument, I moved all the classes from /native into /WEB-INF/classes and I moved all the classes from /foreign into /WEB-INF/lib. Also, for the sake of being extra careful, I packaged up everthing in /WEB-INF/lib into classes.jar (so there's two copies there, the raw directory tree and the JAR file).
Then I restarted Tomcat and loaded the servlet. The servlet itself (from the /classes tree) attempted to load, but it broke because one of its dependencies (from the /lib tree) was missing. According to the "Application Developer's Guide" to which you referred me... "When you install an application into Tomcat (or any other 2.2/2.3-compatible server), the classes in the WEB-INF/classes/ directory, as well as all classes in JAR files found in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory, are made visible to other classes within your particular web application. ... no adjustment to the system class path (or installation of global library files in your server) will be necessary." So I expected the contents of /WEB-INF/lib, either the raw files or the packaged JAR, to be automatically loaded. Was I mistaken?
