Class location?
I think I've seen this question on the list several times, with answers, but
the answers aren't working for me. What am I doing wrong?
I have a large set of Java classes. I jarred them up and put them in
$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib/myjar.jar, but Tomcat can't find them. Then I
unjarred and put them in $CATALINA_HOME/shared/classes/. My classes are in
multiple packages, and I have the directory structure such that the "com"
directory is inside "classes". Tomcat still can't find them.
Specifically, all of my JSP pages are failing to compile on my "import
com.whatever.*" lines with the message "package does not exist".
I have set full permissions (Unix 777) on all class files and directories.
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.18. On a different server, I am using a Tomcat 4.0.3,
and I keep my classes in /WEB-INF/classes/com/.... That server works
perfectly. I tried that too, and it still didn't work.
Is there a line that needs to go in server.xml or somewhere else to set this
up? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jake

Potentially the same place, but put the tld for the tags in the WEB-INF
directory. Or you
can put them in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Either way the tld should be in
the WEB-INF.

Likely, but I need all of my classes to be globally accessible anyway.
I'm using RedHat 8, Sun's 1.4.1_01 JDK, and Tomcat 4.1.18.
I have a similar question now -- where do I put tag libraries?

Good, although you probably still have a problem. Putting them under
WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes should have worked. Those directories are
for classes specific to the web application, and/or classes that you don't
want to be common to the runtime environment for all webapps.
However, I've seen this type of behavior on Unixware with version 3.3.x of
tomcat. The oracle xdk xsql servlet classes just will not play nicely
unless they are installed in the "common" library directory. Anywhere else
and you get nothing but problems. This isn't the case on linux however, it
works properly. Probably something to do with the implementation of the JVM
or the OS, don't know, don't really care as I have a workaround.
