Iam using weblogic6.1 .In my appication i have a war file
xxx.war containig the jsp's and i have xxx.jar which contain
all the classes.
Now i created one servlet, placed it in WEB-INF/classes created xxx.war from war folder.My problem is that servlet is using some java classes .If i put those classes in WEB-INF/classes the servlet is working fine.If I put the classes in xxx.jar servlet is giving the error java.lang.ClassDefNotFound exception.the war is in weblogic6.1/config/xxx/applications
and the xxx.jar is in weblogic6.1/config/xxx/lib

IS it possible for a servlet to access the class that is outside /WEB-INF/classes in weblogic6.1?

Thanks in advance

The jar file xxx.jar should be present in WEB-INF/lib folder

WEB-INF/classes folder is meant for .class file while the jar files should be present in WEB-INF/lib folder.

so put the xxx.jar in WEB-INF/lib folder, recreate the .WAR file, redeploy and see if it works.
