Hi, I actually dont know where to start ;)
No... is probably a good place.
Why not try this, take the layout from a working web app with the packages
manually installed...
jar cvf webappname.WAR
Then to deploy, drop it into Tomcat.
There are so many differnet classloaders involved in what you doing that its
just wrong...
WEB-INF/lib/ MUST NOT be in the Java classpath.
Yes it will work when you run from an external test program, but it will
screw TC up nicely... never do that.
You seem to be using applets... those classes or Jars, are not in any class
path... they in the web site and end up in the browsers classpath.
Makes no sense to put those in a class path in the server side...
Why fight the way its meant to be packaged.... why not just try get it into
a war?
Good luck...
