Classpath problem. Your JVM is not able to locate the .class files your are using. Make sure whatever you are using is on the classpath.

Not correct. At run time, containers ignore the classpath. Jars that the web app needs should be placed in WEB-INF/lib.

Tomcat installs typically have a class-loader-howto.html file under webapps/doc which explains in detail where Tomcat looks for library files.

I should have been more careful while reading the post. The moment I saw the error I jumped on to this conclusion. Thanks Bear

[nam pet]

thanks 4 the reply .

i m verify all the jar files in WEB-INF dir. all are same(new pc and Old one)
but still get the error message.
i m test with another code for recaptcha.
that time getting the same error message.
i think java graphics not displaying . is there any other settings needed (java graphics files/jar) ??

Have you determined which class is missing yet?

[nam pet]

not determined yet.

[Bear Bibeault]

When you determine the missing class you'll know what you need to put into WEB-INF/lib.
