hi guys and gurlz,
i'm confused. i'm using JavaMail in a webapp deployed on tomcat4.
when developing with netbeans, i just had the activation.jar, mail.jar and smtp.jar mounted as filesystems - no problems at all.
in the live environment i got a
NoSuchProvider Exception: smtp
tomcat couldn't find an implementation for an smtp provider.
the solution was to put smtp.jar in $TOMCAT/common/lib folder. but why ? why couldn't the smtp.jar be found when i had it in the WEB-INF/lib directory of my web application ?
thanks in advance for your help,
dennis
