My struts application is working, but.. I would like to know how the struts classes are found. They are in WEB-INF\lib\struts.jar, but I can't see how this is in the classpath. Obviously I'm missing something, can anyone tell me what? Thanks! Mars
It's classpath/classloader magic! Because you are putting your jars, and classes, in a webapp, the container you are using knows where to find them - WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes respectively. Pretty darn handy.
So the container (Tomcat in this case) loads any classes found in jars in lib? That seems to be the case because I renamed struts.jar to some other arbitrary name and the app still worked. Thanks for your help Chris! Mars [ July 22, 2002: Message edited by: Marcellus Tryk ]
