JSP imports and CLASSPATH issues

["Greer, Darren (MED)" <Da...@med.ge.com>]

Hello all. 
 
I am running Tomcat v4.0.1 with jdk1.3.1 on a Linux box.  I have created
a basic webapp that utilizes a single servlet which uses a
dbConnectionBroker class.  
 
I have a JSP which is creating a new dbConnection and I need to import
the dbConnectionBroker class.  This class file is located in
WEB-INF/lib/com/javaexchange/dbConnectionBroker/dbConectionBroker.class.
 
I am doing a:
  <%@ page import="com.javaexchange.dbConnectionBroker.*" %>
 
I get the following error:
 
###########
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
/opt/java/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/dist/work/localhost/nod/index$jsp
.java:3: Package com.javaexchange.dbConnectionBroker not found in
import.
import com.javaexchange.dbConnectionBroker.*;
       ^
1 error
###########

Is the WEB-INF/lib directory not in the CLASSPATH at runtime?  Or am I
doing something wrong?
 
Thanks,

Darren

Hi Darren:

	WEB-INF/lib is where you would put your '.jar' files.  Un'jarred' classes
should go in WEB-INF/classes with the usual package heirarchy under
WEB-INF/classes.  So your class file should be
WEB-INF/classes/com/javaexchange/dbConnectionBroker/dbConectionBroker.class
