DCP classpath (at runtime?)

[Masse <ma...@yahoo.com>]

setting up the DCP processor I can't get it to find
a class of mine, residing in the same classpath as my
JSP-beans used by my GNUJSP (also JServ based).

my question is: how do i set the classpath for the
DCP processor.

in the gnujsp.properties file i have to set the
classpath in the javac commandline; is there a similar
demand from the DCP set up?

FYI: i'm setting the classpath in jserv.properties, repository in
servlet.properties (of the zone of Cocoon) as well as in the system
classpath environment variable (NT).

is this a well known bug? can someone tell me how you have set it up?

This is provided by Jserv's own classpath, no separate
DCP setting is needed.

No. DCP relies on the servlet engine classloader.

According to the information you give, you shouldn't
have a problem with your DCP class _as such_

However, if your DCP class internally uses another
class which is not accessible from the current classpath,
you may get a ClassNotFoundException that is not related
to your DCP class as such, but rather to the indirect class
dependency. Have you checked this?
