WEB-INF/lib not web-inf/lib

Also, red text on tan is not very readable. Suggest you rethink that one.

it is WEB-INF/lib. by mistake i wrote web-inf/lib here.
as i told same application was running fine on JRun but its not working on tomcat 5.5

Include mail.jar and activation.jar in the classpath

[Usman Saeed]

My mistake.
thanks both of you for your replies.
accidentally i uploaded mail.jar file on some other application's WEB-INF/lib folder. now every thing is fine.
