FYI, i placed jar files in tomcat_home/shared/lib as per doc you cite below. This seemed to be effective, because i stopped getting the "package does not exist" error, and now get that generic "status 500 error - null pointer exception" - which i intrepret to mean that there is an internal error with the code i have written.
