IIRC, Tomcat resets the classpath when it starts up, so it does not matter what you put in your system classpath or even if you tweak the startup.sh. I could be wrong though, since it has been years (literally) since I touched Tomcat. But if you want your JAR file to be in the classpath, there are two directories that I seem to recall where you can place the file: <tomcat-directory>/webapps/<servlet-name>/WEB-INF/classes/ <tomcat-directory>/common/lib/ But it would help if you could answer the following questions: 1. What is the URL that you key into the browser location bar to access the servlet? This is VERY important, because most problems come from the location and the mapping of the servlet. 2. What is the current location for your JAR file? 3. Does the web application get loaded at all? What are the errors in catalina.out when you startup Tomcat? You can check if the web application even exists in Tomcat by accessing the Manager web application (if you installed it). -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
