Servlet jar files

[David DELGRANCHE <dd...@sogitec.fr>]

		Hi all,

	I would like to put all my servlet files in a jar file and then put the 
jar file in the classes/ directory. By doing this, Tomcat doesn't find my 
servlet and send me a HTTP 404 error. Does anyone how to specifiy to Tomcat 
that the servlets are in a jar file?
	Thanks a lot
	David.

the jar file must not be put into the classes directory but lib instead,
isn't it ?

The WAR file is strictly a webapp deployment mechanism.
The WAR file is a jarred archive of the entire webapp.

If all you want to do is put your sevlets in a jar file, you need to
place the file in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
When Tomcat starts up, it will find all classes in the WEB-INF/classes
directory, and all JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

You should bundle servlets in a .WAR file. This is the same as a jar file.
It contains the WEB-INF directory for your webapp. See the docs for details
on deplolyment. This .WAR file will sit directly in the webapps directory.
