    Default Class directory

    Can anyone tell me how to make my Java Server (update 11) see my JavaBean classes directory?
    ************************************************** ****************************
    I found the answer, it was simple. I began to use a Tomcat server and all I have to do now is edit the web.xml file and it works every time. Thanks for your input everyone.

    What exactly do you mean, is this a Server you've written or what exactly do you mean?

    Thanks for your reply Jason. The Java compiler is used in conjunction with aJava Server to run a JSP file. A class directory holds the classes to run JavaBeans. How do I get the Java server to run these classes?

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean, when I write servlets and JSP's I use Tomcat as my application container. Are you saying you want to know how to build a simple .war file to use in your application container so you can see the jsp pages?

    JSP files work fine, classes do not though. I have tried building a war file as for Tomcat but that does not seem to work out.
    Thanks for your replies I'll do a bit more digging into the server docs.

    In your war file you need to have your .class files in the WEB-INF/classes folder so for instance if you have a class called MyClass in the package com.javaprogrammingforums the directory structure of that class would be.

    WEB-INF/classes/com/javaprogrammingforums/MyClass.class
    If you have any other external jar files you need as well these need to be in the WEB-INF/lib folder, for instance.

    WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar
    // Json

    Thanks Jason, you are really trying to get round this one. My server does not seam to be able to see the WEB-INF directory and doesn't read the xml file installed there.
