.jar libraries of servlets HOWTO ?

[ha...@boxer.se]

Hi!

All examples only use .class files I want to know how to setup and alias
servlets in a .jar file ?

Which configuration files should I look in and how should I set it up ?

I'd be happy to at least be able to access my servlet in the jar file by:
myhost/examples/servlet/com.domain.foo.HelloWorld f.ex.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

This kind of URL should work whether your servlet is in a class file (on the
system classpath, or under the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/examplesWEB-INF/classes
subdirectory) or in a JAR file (again on the system classpath, or in a JAR
file in the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/WEB-INF/lib subdirectory).  How Java loads
the class has nothing to do with what the URL is.

Note that there were problems with loading classes from WEB-INF/lib/*.jar in
Tomcat 3.0 and early stages of Tomcat 3.1.  This has been fixed in the most
recent code, and will work correctly in the final release.
