Application server classpath problem

I've got classpath set to D;\Websphere\AppServer\hosts\default_host\WebReg\servlets;
D;\Websphere\AppServer\hosts\default_host\WebReg\servlets\classes;
D:\WebSphere\jdk\jre\ext\classes12.zip
in the Win2000 environment. The Application server also starts with a classpath switch the same. When i call the servlets WebSphere doesn't find the class which is in the servlets directory.

When i enter the http://localhost/servlet/CUXXHome i get the error messages

Wrapped Error-2: Servlet [CSXXHome]: Could not find required servlet class - CSXXHome.class
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet [CSXXHome]: Could not find required servlet class - CSXXHome.class at javax.servlet.ServletException.(ServletException.java:61) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppServletManager.loadServlet(WebAppServletManager.java:56) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebApp.addServlet(WebApp.java:305) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppServletRegistry.addServlet(WebAppServletRegistry.java:42) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.InvokerServlet.service(InvokerServlet.java:155) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:639) at ........................................................

Why is Websphere not finding the servlet classes.

Mick Barry

Websphere's probably not using your CLASSPATH env var.
Most containers generally have their own method for defining their classpath.

Check your websphere documentation.

Mick Barry

You don't actually mention where you put you classes.
I think they should be in the servlets directory, and if your using packages then ensure they are in the correct subdirectory.

The Application server also starts with a classpath switch the same. I believe this is the same as your command line param. At the application server tab under command line arguments -mx128m -classpath d:\WebSphere\AppServer\hosts...... I've checked the case and all the servlet class files are in the ..\servlets subdirectory.

You know, looking at that classpath line in that conf file, i don't see a path to that servlets directory included.
plus its putting d:\:/ instead of d:\ ????????????????
com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminserver.classpath=d\:/WebSphere/AppServer/lib/ibmwebas.jar;
d\:/WebSphere/AppServer/properties;

I'll try including that.

O.K. That does get rid of the classpath error message although it's still saying page can't be displayed.
thanks

What error are you getting now? If it's one I'm familiar with I'll let you know. Have you tried running this in VAJ?

I'll put that out as another question, but it will be about a week off. I did get further along in VAJ but had trouble with some .css and .js files. Kindly check back in about 2 weeks at which time i hope to formulate better questions.
thanks
